Open Food Facts is embarked on an effort to access the environmental impact of products. In summary, we need to
 +
# Categorize products in order to be able to use the lifecycle analysis averages that we already have.
 +
# Extract every little bit of information that we can from packagings, Including environmental labels and ingredients, both useful to have a better assessment of impact.
 +
# Improve our taxonomy system to be able to decipher it, and add explanations.
 +
# Gather lifecycle analysis data for countries outside of France or find ways to reverse-engineer lifecycle analysis files to tweak the parameters at very large scale
 +
== Packaging codes ==
 +
There are many traceability codes available on the food packaging. Those usually indicate the plant location which is helpful to compute distance the product has traveled. For instance, we do a map of all European plants called Made Near Me.
 +
 +
=== Adding food categories to assess the carbon footprint ===
 +
In order to be able to apply the lifecycle analysis values, we need to know precisely the category of a product.
 +
You can help using various tools on Open Food Facts:
 +
* The official app for Android and iPhone shows category prediction when you are logged in. You can answer them easily by tapping yes no or maybe. You can't even answer them if you don't have any products in your hands. For more instructions, see this page.
 +
* You can use Hunger Games to validate category predictions in mass.
 +
* You can use the Chrome extension to mass add categories. As this tool is powerful, its usage is restricted. Please contact @teolemon to get access.
 +
 +
'''Important note:'''Even if the product has a category, having a more granular category may be useful, as we don't have lifecycle analysis for overly broad categories.
 +
 +
=== Environmental labels ===
 +
We need to collect environmental labels.
 +
* We have a logo annotation tool to help you collect labels at large scale.
 +
* You can also validate labels using Hunger Games.
 +
 +
=== LCA files produced by other institutions  ===
 +
We are lucky to get lifecycle analysis values for France but we need a similar values for other countries in the world.
 +
If you'd like to help with that, even for countries other than your own, please get in touch on Slack.

Adding translations for the common name of the fishes in your language would be useful.

Creating small descriptions of the fishing methods, probably based on Wikipedia, with a freely reusable image, that is coherent with the other fishing methods images

=== On packaging ===
+
A '''very limited''' amount of companies compute and print the carbon footprint on the packaging. Gathering those is very useful whenever you see it.
