+
+Deployed Link: https://6917bdee950026f7bc8f2bbc--scintillating-bubblegum-952195.netlify.app/
+
+## 🎯 Project Overview  
+Sustainable-Food-Tracker is a web-based application built with HTML & JavaScript that lets users:  
+- Scan—or manually enter—food items  
+- View sustainability, nutritional or environmental impact history (`history.html`)  
+- Earn and redeem rewards for choosing sustainable food (`rewards.html`)  
+- Browse scan results (`scan.html`)  
+- Start at the main landing page (`Index.html`)
+
+The goal: empower users to make food choices that are more environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
+
+## 🔧 Features  
+- Clean, intuitive UI built in HTML + JS  
+- Separate pages for different user workflows  
+- Straightforward file-based structure—easy to extend  
+- Focus on sustainability: tracking the impact of food choices  
+
+## 🧱 Folder Structure

+├── history.html      → Page to view past scanned items & impact  
+├── rewards.html      → Page to view & redeem rewards  
+└── server/           → Backend or assets folder (if present)
