Global warming and climate change are a huge challenge, and the world needs to take action
for the sake of our future. Each year we throw food that could feed the population
of USA times 10,
and we want to do something about that.
To reach the UN-goals, reducing food waste is one of the most effective actions. According to
Project Drawdown we can reduce emissions with 87 gigatons of carbon dioxide if 50% of
food waste
is reduced by 2050.
The food industries have a responsibility to change their business model to be able to adjust
the way they produce their food. There are many ways they can help reduce the food that is not
reaching the consumer. A lot of food is being wasted in transportation and production.
On the other hand, the food production is affected by our consumer behavior, when we buy more,
they produce more. We as consumers also have a responsibility to show the food industry that
we want change, and we NEED a change.
We (fomoFOOD) believe that through action, influence and technology, it is possible to change
the way we make our daily choices. Our goal is to make it easy for everyone to make the most out
of the food they already have. Our app will motivate and simplify the food choices you make,
and the sensor will make it impossible for you to forget food that is soon expiring.
