The Horse 2019/20

We wish the food waste problem in 100 years would be resolved completely. It would be great if the food could be distributed evenly in the world to cure world hunger and stop the huge amount of food waste. In an ideal situation the world would use its food recources wisely and without harming the enviroment and the animals. This way global warming can be fought and hopefully resolved. We hope that people will change their minds and care more about their habit about food.

In terms of concepts on how we imagine the relisation of no food waste we have a couple of ideas:

• stores and restaurants should be obligated to give away the food for free or discounted for the less fortunate
• there should be fees for food waste in private households. We imagine that the food has to be thrown away seprately and is weighed. Depending on the weight of the food waste a fee is calculated. This money could be used to invest into the climate emergency.
• food which can be stored for a longer period of time should be cheaper to motivate people to buy food smarter
• the expiration dates should be calculatede more accurately
• YouTubers who eat 3000 gramms of pasta just for clickbait should be charged with a fee and it should be forbidden

We would love to see these changes in the future... let's see if our wishes come true!

Best wishes, Aìna and Melisa

Hi everyone,

I need your help. We did a survey draft to collect our first data. The key in our project is, that as many people as possible join us. The thing is that we have a little bit of difficulties how we can encourage people to do the challenge. I thought that we can do a kobotoolbox with the gender, if the person bought or made it and a before and after pic of the food. Also important is if they were successfully this day or not. 

Here the link. https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/#0nSv6iUc

Please comment your thoughts and ideas.

Hi everyone,

I want to get your attention. There was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6,4! I was in Albania and I know that the people and the government does not have the money tho re-build all the damage! 28 people are dead and over 300 are missing. Many people lost their home and need help.

So please if you can donate even 1$ that would help alot!

Here you can see a little sketch of our project planning. We researched a little bit and came to the conclusion to collect data with an app. The difficulties are, to motivate as much people as we can to have a good result.

The potato

The potato was first found in the region of south America, exactlly in southern Peru and northwestern Bolivia. The potato has been used of the incas way before the Spanish kingdom found them. More...

We use so much plastic everyday and are so burning more and more fossil fuels. This is very hurtfull for our planet and we will not have these ressourcers anymore, so we should change our habits now! More...

Hi everyone :)

I want to share my experience with the food app; KoBo Toolbox. We have to document what we eat the whole time and click what is in our food. 

I had to reminde myself everytime I ate something that I have to capture a picture of it and to uploade it. Also that I have to know what is in it.

My experience was that when it was during school or during work I always uploaded it. But at the weekend I forgott it. I dont know why exactlly, but I think is because of that my ''eating time'' is not regular. It was also difficult to know exactlly what is in my food or is it local or not. Or if it is seasonal or not. Now I do a little research and learn somthing about the food I eat and I think that is very good! :)

I have to improve myself during the weekend that I also uploade what I eat then. I have to set an reminder on my phone that would help.

Our task was to calculate how much energy is in our food (kcal, kJ and kWh). I thought I would capture my brunch that I had on sunday. There are many different things so I thought this would be interesting.

What did I eat?

Egg - Tomato - Chillie - Sauce 120 kcal, 502 kJ, 0.1395 kWh

Hummus, 82kcal, 343 kJ, 0.09536 kWh, 

Olives, 71 kcal,301 kJ, 0.08257 kWh 

Tomato -cucumber -feta Salad, 75 kcal, 314 kJ, 0.087225 kWh

fruit salad, 26 kcal, 108 kJ, 0.03023 kWh

organic greek yogurt, 65 kcal, 272 kJ, 0.07559 kWh

whole grain bread, 52 kcal, 217 kJ, 0.060476 kWh

In total the food had 491 kcal, 2055 kJ, 0.571033 kWh

The food was very delicious and healthy, everything was homemade! If you want to eat good and fresh breakfast / brunch I would recommend the café bebek in Zurich. The food is mostly organic and local. Here the link so you can get a little taste http://bebek.ch/entry/ .

If you are interestet in power food here is a good article where you can see which food gives you a lot of energy.
