LatePlate

Inspiration

As young people living through the climate emergency, we are worried about the effect environmental degradation has on our food system. As year after year, our fields produce less and less food, we must now be more conscientious about how we use our food. That's where LatePlate comes in.

What it does

LatePlate will connect to your grocery ordering app, think Grubhub, SaveTheDishes, UberEats, etc. LatePlate then will read all your grocery data and then will tell you when your food will expire. This helps people keep track of their food, so nothing goes to waste.

LatePlate will also create its own verified expiration dates, so you won't be misled at the grocery store again. Since grocery stores are not required by law to report the true expiration date.

LatePlate will also send notifications when your food is close to expiry to remind you to eat it.

LatePlate will also have gamification integrated, with users inputting their food waste, and LatePlate comparing their results with other users.

LatePlate will also advise on how to preserve food, use leftovers and other food waste-reducing tips.
