A 3-tier digital public good application designed for real-time agricultural surplus matching and logistics optimization in Sierra Leone to address UN SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). # NutriLink: Digital Public Good for SDG 2 NutriLink is a community-driven, 3-tier software solution designed to bridge the communication gap between smallholder farmers, food banks, and volunteer transport networks across Sierra Leone. By facilitating real-time automated proximity matching of surplus agricultural yields, the platform minimizes localized food waste and optimizes supply chain logistics to directly address UN SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). --- ## System Architecture & Framework The platform utilizes a structured **3-Tier Architecture** to guarantee modular scalability and high transactional data security: 1. **Presentation Layer:** Accessible frontend channels featuring high-contrast mobile app views for NGOs/Transporters alongside integrated offline USSD network engines for rural smallholder farmers. 2. **Application Layer:** Core backend routing logic driven by Python and Django to execute matching algorithms, compute crop shelf-life expiration, and manage transit milestones. 3. **Data Layer:** A secured PostgreSQL relational database management system regulating user credentials, live supply sheets, and historical impact matrices. --- ## Core Features * **Surplus Yield Logging:** Simple, low-literacy-optimized listing forms for produce volume, types, and harvest dates. * **Proximity Matching Feed:** Real-time localized feeds mapping active farm surpluses directly to regional food banks and NGOs. * **Logistics Routing Hub:** Automated transport task generation for volunteer dispatch riders to claim pending pickup routes. * **SDG Impact Tracker:** Publicly accessible monitoring dashboard displaying cumulative food rescue metrics and regional distribution logs. --- ## Repository Directory Structure ```text /nutrilink-public-good │ ├── /.github/ # GitHub workflow configurations and issue templates ├── /architecture/ # UML Use Case and 3-Tier system design diagram assets ├── /documentation/ # Full academic implementation r …
