Project:Food Bank

Food bank

• Food banks are usually operated by charity.
• They handover food to those in need.
• They get a wide ranging set of different products.

Were we can help

• We can help with the logistic headache that is to find a product for people with allergies and intolerances.
• So far only the obvious "free from" is set aside.
• We could help sort better the product that are not obviously matching those criteria.

Lesser important way we can help

• It is often difficult to get similar foodbox at scale from a wide range of different product.
• It could be possible to create better food box, with the data from open food fact.
• Once the stock is better understood, an app could display what is in dire need at the local food bank (eg. not beans)
