A Brimbank resident has created a fruitful platform to bring together fresh homegrown produce and interested buyers, ensuring sellers and customers are only a tap away.
FrootMap’s creator and local Juvaid Nakhuda turned his vision into reality by developing an app that uses colour coded pins to instantly identify the location, availability, quantity And type of fresh produce grown at home.
Inspired by the untapped potential of backyard gardens and a desire to promote a culture of home-grown food, Mr Nakhuda saw an opportunity to make a difference.
“We wanted to create something that not only reduces food waste but also encourages people to grow their own fruits and vegetables, share or exchange their surplus, and build stronger connections with their neighbourhood,” he said.
“There’s nothing quite like the freshness and flavour of fruit and vegetables grown in your own backyard.”
FrootMap’s interactive and user-friendly platform allows people to easily share, exchange, or even sell their extra produce, creating positive social connections, economic opportunities, and a significant environmental impact by reducing food waste and lowering the carbon footprint of food distribution.
“Imagine no fresh fruit falls to waste,” Mr Nakhuda said.
“Neighbours share abundance, and every meal supports health and the planet.
“FrootMap connects communities and makes this a reality.”
