More about the project
Of the world's total food production, about 1/3 is thrown away, which is one of the largest single sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. This project is lead by KTH MID and intend to focus on one of the most important areas of food waste, namely food that is thrown from refrigerators when not used in time.
We intend to develop and evaluate digital driven solutions aimed at increasing "food supply awareness". The solutions will be developed in close collaboration with users, and evaluated longitudinally in Swedish households.
