Projects to do

Canteens cook in bulk and throw away what is unsold, but they rarely ask students what would make them eat what is available.

Packaged food brands face crowded shelves and changing tastes, and a SWOT with no evidence is only opinion.

Buyers with allergies or diet needs depend on pack information, yet some packs are far easier to read than others.

Several agritech apps offer advice, input sales and market links, but smallholders still say the apps miss what they need most on a given day.

A snack that goes stale or mouldy in a shop damages the brand long before the maker hears about it.

Small sellers lose fish to heat every day, but a cold room costs money and needs members to agree on how to share it.

Onion and tomato prices spike and crash regularly, and each time shoppers and farmers blame different causes.

A kitchen's food quality and cost depend on its suppliers, yet students rarely hear how cooks and owners actually decide who to buy from.

Street food stalls work in tight spaces with little water or storage, so small hygiene habits decide whether customers come back healthy.

Fresh produce is hard to sell online because buyers cannot touch it, so each app has to build trust in a different way.

A roadside stand has loyal passers-by but no way to tell nearby families what is fresh today or why it is worth a detour.

Students who eat every day often have never seen a farm, and farms that open to visitors need a plan that is safe, simple and worthwhile.

A beach shack that builds its menu on local fish can offer freshness, but supply changes through the year and the menu has to bend with it.

Home food sellers often set prices by guesswork and only later discover they have been earning almost nothing for their time.

A farmer can sell through a mandi, a farmer group, direct to shops or under a contract, and each route trades risk against reward.

A pop-up stall can look busy and still lose money if prices ignore ingredients, fuel, helpers and unsold food.

A vegetable can cost far less where it is traded in bulk than where families buy it, and few shoppers understand where the difference goes.
