Abstract

The food consumption method differs from culture to culture. Home kitchens are a part of the food business which operates from home. Also with technology and connectivity evolving, ordering foods through mobile apps or online has become the most likely mode to order food. This study discusses the Sri Lankan consumer’s perceptions towards healthy food consumption, eco-friendly packaging and pollution-free food delivery solution for home kitchens in the city, Jaffna. Although the city Jaffna was highly affected by the prevailed civil war in the country, at present Jaffna is immerging as one of the fast-developing cities with various infrastructure projects like highways, airports, ports, etc. The scope of the project is to pave a digital platform and to introduce the green business approach for the home-based food businesses which run in Jaffna. This proposed solution will support and automate the manual tasks carried out by the major stakeholders with minimal energy wastage with an ecofriendly, green business approach.
