Foodapi.org – a small seed in the broken world of food
- toxsick 11y agohey girls and boys. let's talk!
- byoung2 11y agoWhat is the goal of the project?
- toxsick 11y agoI just saw a frustration documentation on German television about how much food is wasted every day. We put a lot of eatable food in the trash, while people in the producing countries are starving. This is just sad. Sometimes I think to myself, what's all this technical advance worth if we seem get worse when it comes to these basic ethical questions. For a good portion of the day my head is filled with python development. I play may role in this in many ways. By not caring and doing enough. By not knowing enough about the topic. By working for companies who don't care. By buying stuff that supports the wrong people. You know the list ... What I do today is thinking loud about this issue and try to combine it with something I do for a living. I really have the abstract feeling that we need some kind of api to make the information about food production, demand, offers, price, consumption and waste accessible, so we can build things on top of it that help us act better. The goal is to make the food eating people understand their food again and be more responsible. How this exactly looks I can't really tell you. This idea is only 3 hours old. This is my shot on fast collective thinking. Perhaps it works. If you think this isn't enough you are properly right. I want to hear from smart people if we can imagine something that would help.
