Danielle Gould on Hacking the Food System: From Proprietary to Open Design
Our food system is not broken- it is poorly designed
Anthony Nicalo on Hacking the Food System: Eliminating Information Asymmetry
We live in a backward world. A world where it is strange to know where our food comes from. Foods that are grown and processed without adulteration have to prove it, while the use of chemicals and manipulation do not have to be disclosed.
Information and technology on the other hand can contribute to a better food system by eliminating information asymmetry
Nicola Twilley on Hacking the Food System: Crowdsourcing What & Where Angelenos Eat
It takes millions and millions of tons of food to feed a city. Somehow, enough milk and produce and soda makes its way to, say, Los Angeles; somehow it all gets distributed — frequently unevenly. But no one actually knows where all that food comes from, who’s buying it, and from where
Will Turnage on Hacking the Food System: Re-Imagining Recipes With Data
My current work focuses on creating software that improves the home cooking experience. Over the past two years, I’ve worked with food writer Michael Ruhlman, and together we’ve started simple and small and released two products. First was Ratio, a digital companion to his book Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking. The second, released earlier this year, was Bread Baking Basics, an iPad app that lets you design your own bread recipe — choose a flour, shape, pan, and quantity — and a custom bread recipe is automatically created for you
Hilary Mason on Hacking the Food System: The Story of the Ultimate Cookie
I’d like to tell you the story of the Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. This isn’t the Neiman Marcus $65,000 cookie recipe. Nor is it the classic Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that we all grew up with (and, though the instructions are all the same, my Mom made the best). This is a recipe learned from thousands of bakers around the world, via love and math
Stefani Bardin on Hacking the Food System
[Hacking the Food System is an online conversation exploring how technology, information and data can change the food system status quo. Join the conversation below, on Twitter (hashtag #foodtech), or at out anniversary party.] Commodity Cropism, a multi-channel video installation, uses the trope of stylized commercials to expose veiled information about three of the largest industrial agriculture crops: corn, soy,
Better Food through Open Data Standards- Vote For Our Panel!
Here at Food+Tech Connect, we are committed to promoting and facilitating the development of open standards for the reporting and sharing information about food. We do so because the lack of interoperability facing startups, researchers, policy makers, etc… hurts everyone’s bottom line. Over the coming nine months, I am thrilled to be working with an
Internet Week 2011: FOOD 2.0
FOOD 2.0 is a day-long series of panels that will bring together professionals interested in the future of food and will promote discussion about how technology is shaping the way we interact with and produce food. The panels will explore food data sharing and standards, the future of food reviewing, open source food, and the social kitchen
AnyLeaf Wants to Disrupt Grocery Industry Status Quo
“We knew that the data contained in the stack of weekly circulars on our dining room table was valuable, but could be much more valuable if it were presented in a more useful way. So we set about collecting the data and building a large database of pricing information.” Buying food is an act that
