Knowledge Team

Open Food Facts Mobile & WebApp Knowledge Team

TL;DR

• Presentation made during CommuniTea

Aim 🎯

• To empower individuals worldwide with knowledge about their food and cosmetics, promoting transparency and informed choices. We achieve this by creating scientific, evidence-based and engaging content that simplifies complex information present on products (food, cosmetics and more).

Our Missions: Educate and Engage

• Craft compelling micro-contents, mobile app, website content on food, nutrition, environment, ultra-processing, ingredients…
• Illustrate those content, with a coherent and consistant graphic charter
• Show how to use our tools, or perform advanced non intuitive tasks

Not our mission

• We are not the Communication team, though they may relay our content through blogposts, or great social media stories ;-)

Join the Team!

• Interested in using your science, synthesis, writing and communication skills for good? We'd love to have you! Start writing, join our Slack channel, or attend our inaugural meeting later this month

Tools 🛠️

• Please list relevant bugs here
  • Knowledge panel related issues on the Server/API
  • Where you can add new Knowledge panel cards to the web app and mobile app
  • Improve capacities of the app for Knowledge Panel decoding
• Please list collaborative spreadsheets and documents/wiki pages here (eg for Additives)

Connecting with other members

• On the following Slack channels:
  • #knowledge-panels
  • #additives channels
• On the GitHub – We have many lists of potential tasks, but we probably need to have comprehensive ToDo lists (on the 500+ additives to document, on the 1000+ cosmetic ingredients or labels to decypher)
• On the wiki – We will need to document our processes, our progress… so that our team is inclusive.
