What Makes SWITCH Food Explorer Unique?
The SWITCH Food Explorer is an innovative web app that integrates data on over 400 foods, providing a unique tool for creating recipes that are both healthy and environmentally sustainable. By addressing the current fragmentation of information, the app empowers consumers, chefs, and nutritionists to make responsible dietary decisions, improving health while reducing environmental impact.
What’s Next
Currently, the app is undergoing real-world testing in several European Food Hubs as part of the EU HORIZON SWITCH project. These trials aim to refine the tool and enhance its usability. Looking ahead, the project envisions a large-scale launch, engaging more stakeholders and expanding its adoption across diverse communities.
