Green-Score for recipes !
Accelerating the ecological transition through your diet 🥗
As you already know, Open Food Facts calculates and displays the Green-Score (the environmental footprint) for food products in its open database.
But what if you want to know the Green-Score of a recipe prepared at home, in a restaurant or in a canteen?
Thanks to support from ADEME (The French Agency for Ecological Transition) as part of a ‘Call for Commons’ initiative to accelerate the ecological transition, Open Food Facts is embarking on the development of a tool to assess the environmental impact of recipes – which will be free and open source!
Are you a head chef, canteen manager, dietitian or local authority representative looking to reduce the environmental impact of your dishes without spending hours on it? 🌍🍽️
At present, assessing a recipe’s environmental footprint is often a real struggle: it requires complex expertise and takes a great deal of time. That’s why Open Food Facts is launching the development of an open-source calculator to instantly generate recipes’ Green-Scores! 🚀
We want this tool to be perfectly tailored to your needs. That’s why we’ve launched a community of practice to co-develop it with YOU.
This collaborative development takes the form of three online workshops:
