Özet: This study has been tried to evaluate the role of technology in reducing and preventing waste through digital applications. As a sub-purpose, it has been determined as the waste prevention situations of digital applications used in the world and in our country. In this study, Document Analysis (Content Analysis) method was used to obtain data. In the study, the content analysis of 23 applications that were established to reduce waste and fight hunger and offered to users were analyzed. Looking at the data obtained, it was understood that the majority of the Applications operate in developed countries (USA, Europe). It has been found that the main objectives of all Practices are to prevent food waste and combat hunger, but their methods are different. It is thought that these apps have an impact on the reduction of domestic food waste, especially in developed countries, and that such applications play an active role in preventing food waste and fighting hunger in the future. Turkey ranks first in Europe and the Middle East with 8 million tons of food waste. In Turkey, it was necessary to develop and put into practice the Apps to prevent waste. According to FAO's 2021 report, Turkey ranks first in Europe and the Middle East with 8 million tons of food wastage. In this context, this study is important in terms of inspiring both policymakers and non-governmental organizations about waste reduction methods.
