Abstract

Healthy eating is one of the biggest problem that affect people’s health in US, unhealthy eating causes billions of dollars on related disease every year. Eating more fresh food is one the most efficient and simplest way to improve this situation, So questions are why certain people can not eat enough fresh food and how to help them eat more fresh food. Following the questions, my research shows that there are multiple reasons involved including long commute time, far away from fresh food shop and price, according to the research, a fresh food delivery system based on suburban community called FRESHBOY came up to solve this problem. The outcomes including the whole system design, the delivery tool and package design and the order application design. This project helps users access to fresh food more easily by saving time for them, it also helps reduce the waste which helps users consume fresh food more efficient, besides, it offers work opportunities for teenagers and it potentially creates social connections between neighborhoods. Overall FRESHBOY helps people access to fresh food more easily, at the same time, a lot of benefit came up with it.
