  Food waste is a major challenge for the present world. It is the precursor to
several socioeconomic problems that are plaguing the modern society. To counter
the same and to, simultaneously, stand by the undernourished, surplus food
redistribution has surfaced as a viable solution. Information and
Communications Technology (ICT)-mediated food redistribution is a highly
scalable approach and it percolates into the masses far better. Even if ICT is
not brought into the picture, the presence of food surplus redistribution in
developing countries like India is scarce and is limited to only a few of the
major cities. The discussion of a surplus food redistribution framework under
strategic settings is a less discussed topic around the globe. This paper aims
at addressing a surplus food redistribution framework under strategic settings,
thereby facilitating a smoother exchange of surplus food in the smart cities of
developing countries, and beyond. As ICT is seamlessly available in smart
cities, the paper aims to focus the framework in these cities. However, this
can be extended beyond the smart cities to places with greater human
involvement.
