Open Food Facts' main goal is to be the largest possible open database for food products. To enrich the database, we can count on contributors... but also on food manufacturers! Indeed, as they are the source of the data, which often means that they are able to provide good quality data, and in bigger volumes than manual individual contributions. | Open Food Facts' main goal is to be the largest possible open database for food products, and to be accessible by the largest number of consumers. | ||
To help us towards this mission, we can rely on multiple partners: | |||
* <code>🏭 Food manufacturers and retailers</code> Yes! To enrich the database, we can count on contributors... but also on food manufacturers! Indeed, as they are the source of the data, which often means that they are able to provide good quality data, and in bigger volumes than manual individual contributions. | |||
* <code>💻 Product catalogues</code> (also called "PIM" for Product Information Management). They provide a digital solution to food manufacturers to help them manage their products' information and (most of the time) share it with retailers. | |||
* <code>📱Food Scanning Apps</code> Today, we work closely with many mobile apps which are reusing our database. They are a key ally as they are working towards the same goal to have a large and high quality database of food products. They regularly send us data, updated by their own users → Win win situation! | |||
* <code>🔗 Food trade associations</code> are helpful to reach out to several food manufacturers while having one contact point. A commun way to collaborate: they invite us to present Open Food Facts during a webinar, attended by their adherents; or promote our project in their newsletter. | |||
* Other actors can be helpful: consumers associations, research institutes and universities, health/environmental agencies, influencers/bloggers, Open Source projects, food NGO, media, etc. | |||
