Green Bite API 🌱

Green Bite attempts to calculate sustainability scores for food. Sometimes it even works! 🤷‍♂️

Masters thesis

Part of my masters thesis: Ingredient matching to determine the sustainability of online recipes. (Information Science, UiB: 2022).

How are sustainability scores calculated? 💡

Using this formula (amount_kg * land_usage) + (amount_kg * greenhouse_gas_emissions) = sustainability_score

Based on what data? 🤓

• The SHARP database. Environmental impacts of 40,000 foods commonly eaten in 40 countries.
• Simple weight tables to convert between volumetric and mass measurements.
• Alot of assumptions and simplifications. Take the results with a shovel of salt. 🧂

Quickstart

• Make sure you have Docker installed and that it is running.

1. ✨ Clone repo git clone git@github.com:arienshibani/green-bite.git

2. 🏗️ Navigate into repo and build the image docker build .

3. 🐋 Run container docker run -p 80:80 green-bite
