FoodData4Good

An international web-based seminar on how open & digital data can support sustainable food systems transformation.

About this Event

Can you imagine getting real time information and decision support why while you are shopping for food? For instance to be better prepared for making climate friendly food choices? And have you ever been dreaming about get online info about the expiry date of the foods in your fridge at home? Open data, data science and digital technologies has opened a whole new world of opportunities. Health science has already come along way with the Data for Good foundation. Why not do the same in the food domain? Analyze consumption patterns for better food systems resilience. Provide consumer feed back using digital consumption data. Minimize food waste with better datainsight? And may even predict consumption patterns with AI and ML? Of course all data needs to comply with high standards and regulations on privacy. And we need serious discussions on benefits and duties in relation to data ownership. Join us for the first FoodData4Good webinar – a side event for the Word Food Summit.
