Abstract

Through open source, open data and community, Open Food Facts is transforming consumption in many countries! In this talk, we'll dive into how Open Food Facts is helping reshape the food system to reduce its impacts on health and the environment. We'll go through how Open Food Facts helps create a trove of information, and turn it into actionable data for consumers, researchers and policy makers.

We'll show how we are mobilizing technology (mobile crowdsourcing, artificial intelligence and more classic tech) in the pursuit of food enlightenment.

We'll explore how citizens and consumers are using this database to make smarter, healthier food choices, steering the food industry towards a more transparent and sustainable future.

We will finally talk about 2025's exciting developments, Open Prices, the new features in the app (Cosmetics, new circular features of Open Products Facts), and how you can help.
