The best projects will be awarded funding. There's an app to help you shop for healthy food, a website where you can find local food producers and another website that maps out your favorite beer down to the molecule - pesticides included. A total of 12 projects came out of the first ever OpenFood Hackdays, held on 10 and 11 February at EPFL. The event attracted engineers, nutritionists, students, graphic designers, doctors and machine-learning specialists, who put their heads together to come up with technological solutions to food-related challenges faced by humankind.
