Inspiration

Using Clarifai Food Detection AI Models to facilitate United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to promote healthy life in our planet World.

Climatic Action is among United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

One of the major Crisis facing the World today is Global Warming and Climatic Change.

Climatic Experts has proved that the Food we eat contributes One-Quater of Global Warming and Green House Gaseous Emission more than other climatic sectors including Carbon emission by Transportations, Energy etc.

The Foods we eat also contributes immensely to Global Warming and Greenhouse Gaseous Emissions.

The Food We eat contributes around 37 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, showing the huge impact that our diets have on climate change. What’s more, animal-based foods produce roughly twice the emissions of plant-based ones.

For instance recent Scientific Studies, show that high consumption of meat and dairy products is what contributes most to the climatic Change and has a serious impacts on the environments while Switching to a plant-based diet can help fight climate change.

Realistically, everyone eats food but not everyone knows the impact of those consumed foods in our environments.

Its is very important to know the quantity of Carbon emitted in making each meal/food that we eat. This will help to educate People and also create Ecological Awarness about impacts of foods we eats on our Climates..

We develop this applications using Clarifai AI Food Detection Models and Computational Food Carbon Footprint Data. etc. to help people and various communitires to easily Analyze, quantify and Visualize the impact of the foods/diets that we eat impacts on our environments.

What it does

The User Uploads/Enter an Image URL containing the Photo or Picture of Meal/food to be analyzed.
The application leverages Clarifai AI Food Detection Models to detect all Ingredients, nutrients and foods Components used in making that particular meal.
The application leverages various Computational Carbon Footprint for various Foods components/nutrients to help determine the Total amount/quantity of Carbon emitted in making the Foods/meal. This help to educate People and various Communities and thus provides eco-awareness on the impacts of the food we eat on our environments...

How we built it

The Application was built with Clarifai Food Detection AI Models and Computation Foods Carbon Footprints for variety of Foods and Its Nutrients/Components.

Application was bulit in php, mysql, jquery, Ajax, bootstraps etc.
