Previous endeavors to minimize rotting of fruits has been retarded by the busy schedule of human beings that leads to forgetfulness. According to the Big 4 Agenda, food security is core and hence the need to ensure that food should not be left to rot due to forgetfulness on the side of human beings. Fruits that ripen before being eaten are very important to human beings because of their nutritional value. However, these fruits are considered to be perishable. Human beings tend to become busy and in the process can forget about these fruits, and therefore these fruits as a result end up rotting leading to huge losses to the owner. Studies that have been conducted previously indicate that practicing prudent reminder on ripening of fruits to busy people has reduced cases of food rotting. However, these studies never constructed a basket with an ethylene sensor that alerts the owner of the basket about the level of ripening of fruits. Therefore, the objective of this study was to construct and evaluate a basket with an ethylene sensor (gas sensor) that alerts the owner of the basket about the level of ripening of fruits. The data was collected from experimentation and from St Angela Sengera Girls’ High School respondents, in Gucha town, Kisii County, Kenya. This study analyzed data using tabular and graphical analysis. Where the work of other authors was used, due acknowledgement was done. The researcher obtained a research permit from St Angela Sengera Girls’ High school and Kenya Science and Engineering Fair in order to enable collection of data. The study concludes that the smart basket is a better method of detecting fruit ripening compared to detection through natural smell. This study recommends that the government implement this smart basket on a large scale basis so as to achieve the Big 4 agenda on food security by ensuring food does not rot, instead it should be eaten, preserved, sold or given to the hungry people in society.
