    • people who want to eat better food (ingredients, quality labels)
    • people who want to eat healthier food (e.g. pay attention to additives and nutrition facts)
    • people who care about the environment (e.g. local food, palm oil)

Goals

Turn 1st time visitors into contributors

Get first time visitors to share Open Food Facts on social networks

Turn 1st time visitors into regular users

Can only be done for countries with a representative set of products. As of 22/09/14, France and Spain.

Increase contributors engagement and efficiency

  • Give them tools to be efficient
  • Automate as much of the work as possible
    • e.g. field auto-completion

Get developers to help us

Get journalists to write a story, do an interview etc.
