This application is aims to effectively reduce the food waste in our community. The relationship between the customers’ impulsivity and quantity of food involvement has been studied. Based on the result of the survey of Sarmugam and Worsley (2015), it shown that most of the people are having high impulsivity of buying behaviour with high involvement of foods. Those foods include convenience meals, takeaways, salted snacks, ready-made sauces, and fast foods. This behaviour may affect people buy a lot and spent without control. Since people already bought too much, they may share or exchange their excessive foods with other. All their need is just a platform to enable them to share with each other. So that, the proposed application will be develop to let user share and trade their foods with others. Moreover, due to the need and demand changing of mobile apps is frequent, and the development life cycles is shorter, so that agile methodology will be a better choice. Agile methodology is allow to makes changes to fit the trends, split the tasks into different phases, and emphasized interactions between customers, testers, and developer. Agile process flow will separate into concept phase, inception phase, iterations phase, release phase, production phase, and retirement phase. In conclusion, the proposed application could let user effectively share and trade their excessive foods with others without use of money. The techniques that used to develop this project are Java programming language, Adobe for drawing wireframe, Android Studio, Visual Paradigm to draw UML diagram.
