Help convince local producers to share their data

🏭 Food manufacturers and retailers 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.

We now have the capacity to produce content in English and French, but we have a harder time translating and posting to all accounts. You can help by joining the marketing channel on Slack, and proposing to help for your language/country. Please get in touch with the permanent team before anything.
