Hello together
Attached you can find our introduction for our article.
Best regards
Anja & Nathan
In recent years there has been a lot of discussion in politic and media about food waste. Some countries have made laws to reduce food-waste. In France supermarkets aren’t allowed waste food. They have to give it for free to homeless people before they waste the food. In Germany they have similar laws for food waste like France. In Switzerland we don’t have any laws for food waste in supermarkets. Here they are allowed to throw away what they want.
Dear Friends!
We prepared our surveys for our data collection and for the challenge participation and we would love for you to try it and give us some feedback! Heres our introduction to the project:
Hi everybody! Thank you for joining us on our journey against food waste! Our aim is to save as much Food as possible in order to help the enviroment and same money at the same time.
The first survey helps us understand who you are, where you are from and some of your food habits.
The second link is your platform to document your experience of the challenge.
At the end of our journey we will collect all of your data and evaluate how much food we wasted / saved - and how much we helped the environment! Let's go!
Hello together
Our task for today is to think about how the food waste in supermarkets in 100 years will look like.
We think there won't be any supermarkets in 100 years because everything will be delivered at home. We imagine also that there wouldn’t be food waste because the people are sensiblized to this topic and look on what and how much food they buy.
Best regards,
Anja and Nathan
Our goals for today are creating our fictional imagination and most importantly finishing our questioning app in the kobo tool box for the challenge and publishing it in order to collect data.
We are working hard to try and reach our Goal! :)

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
- We will prepare our interview questions, so we are ready for the interview.
- We start to write a text with the informations we collected over the last weeks.
- We will talk to Ms. Suter to share our experience till yet.
- Search an other team with a similar topic so we can share our experience.
- Find out more about food-waste in supermarkets.

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.
NO FOOD WASTE!

Aina and I researched a little bit about food waste and came to these sources:

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 sketch:
This is our research about how to counteract food waste or how to use food that would normally be thrown away. This is our initial research, so it would be nice if you could leave a comment to tell us what you think about it and what we could improve. You can also sent other solutions you've found so we can add them to our research. We hope we can work together and help each other out! More...
