SUSFood [O]

Inspiration

Food wastage is a very big problem across the globe and is a very big contributor to the depletion of carbon resources. According to various surveys and studies, our carbon resources/budget will finish very soon in the coming decades. Sustainability means using resources in a way to make sure that they don't get depleted. And here we are focusing on helping people track their carbon usage along with their daily diet and giving a feature of sustainable inventory to keep a track of foods they eat and expiration dates of food items to make sure we reduce the wastage getting caused due to our daily diet.

What it does

It's an app to track the sustainable habits of your daily diet and tracks the carbon footprint caused by them. It encourages you to save food through impactful challenges and reduce food wastage using inventory features.

1. Tracking Food Carbon Footprints to increase awareness
2. Encouraging Sustainable Food Habits through challenges
3. Checking on food wastage at home and taking steps

How we built it

I wanted to build a running app but due to time constraints and other commitments, I only got time to make a prototype of it using Figma.

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to find a parameter for calculating carbon emissions. Also making such a huge Figma project within less time due to school work was a hassle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Got to know more about the UN sustainable goals and also came up with an idea to reduce carbon emissions within such a less time. Also I was able to make a full visual and playable prototype of the concept.

What we learned

Learned about the carbon budget and how it can lead to the extinction of the human race if not used properly. Also got to know a lot of Figma designing skills.

What's next for SUSFood

I aim to make it into a full fledged working platform and give it out in public to make sure everyone use the resources they have in home in a sustainable way and save the environment.
