Abstract

Providing everyone - including consumers and citizens - with the information and tools they need to take action and improve food for all, is the mission that Open Food Facts, the Wikipedia of food products, set itself ten years ago. Thanks to innovative approaches (citizen collection, open data, free software) and the massive development of technologies such as smartphones and artificial intelligence, the citizen and collaborative Open Food Facts project has become an invaluable resource for consumers, manufacturers, journalists and public authorities, as well as scientists. Through the example of Open Food Facts, this conference presents how future technologies such as artificial intelligence will revolutionize participatory science and enable everyone to help tomorrow's research and public action in nutrition and health.
