Track 4: Knowledge & social app

Knowledge & social app
Agriculture processes, food labels and food processing are complex and not easy to understand for food consumers. Open Food Facts already helps people to decrypt nutritional information and environmental impact of products.

How does the track work?

The discussion will take place in this thread.

If you’re interested, you can first register in the working document dedicated to the track (just add your name at the beginning).

Then you can have a look at all the ideas already shared on the white board.

And finally, you can enter the discussion here. For example, with the help of the white board, you can share what are the 3 main features you would like to develop in this track, and explain why.
