Eco-eats food sustainability student voices workshop by

Finding sustainable food takes time, uni students don't have much time

avasims25_ — 2023-11-16 12:17:57 UTC

An app could show you the sustainable/ veggie options each supermarket has to offer and meals that you could make with them - could create a shopping list based off it

Throwing food into tins/donating spare food is less convenient than throwing away or sharing with flatmates or friends

avasims25_ — 2023-11-16 12:23:10 UTC

Create an easy way that students can donate extra food that doesn't add excessive time to their day and gives them something for it

Too good to go

avasims25_ — 2023-11-16 12:25:40 UTC

Extend to university outlets, could make a similar concept and students could deliver the items across campus or to town

Deals and discounts from all outlets on campus in one place online

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:32:50 UTC

easy and accessible, dont waste time scrolling for deals, can plan my day better

website, story upload on instagram, link on ilancs?

Not always easy with a busy schedule & messy timetable to come home and cook

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:33:51 UTC

need something that makes cooking fun (maybe social)

need an easy solution

need something that is available to use as a long term solution

We buy too much at once to save time and effort- then the food goes bad

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:36:40 UTC

Have something that helps with the process of food shopping, makes you a predetermined shopping list based on diet and preferences? - could have a feature which shows you what you need to buy or what is missing for recipes- whats missing in my cupboard? AR show you? Recipies?

Create an app where people can input their left over food and it will come up with a recipie

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:41:56 UTC

AI could be implemented here? really like the idea of students having the ability to buy one food shop and using all of the food- effortless

could create a digital fridge which keeps an eye on whats going off soon and gives you a recipe so you can use it

Advertise microwave spots on iLancaster

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:54:49 UTC

could create a rewards system through social media where people can showcase the best sustainable meal- through instagram stories and tagging eco eats, face and food showcase on the website

Expensive food outlets on campus - apart from greggs

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:56:21 UTC

Could staff and students buy surplus food in low price after lunch/dinner time/peak hours- the initiative could have a community section where surplus food is sold cheaper - encourages community, sustainability and low prices

Gamification of sustainability, getting money involved

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 15:59:47 UTC

Student discounts?

A points system, after X amount of orders, you get a meal free/cheaper, encourages people to get involved- could work with uni outlets to improve/ create a loyalty scheme like Teya that encourages sustainability.

Could create a campus game like mcdonalds monopoly to gamify sustainability- costly?

What do you already have in your cupboard?

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:04:06 UTC

linking to the cooking classes, gives you recipes- low cost, maybe using AI- how can we ensure that they are sustainable items? - but also doesn't necessarily have to be sustainable items as long as the user is using the food that they bought- cant control what they buy but can help with food waste

Linking to uni outlets

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:04:39 UTC

Building upon the welcome pack

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:05:17 UTC

flatmate bundles/ single person food bundles to save on cost- i want to be able to socialise and get inspired by others- buy a food pack that comes with recipes and share the result in a forum on the initiative?

Shared fridges on campus, maybe in dorms?

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:09:53 UTC

Idea that food goes somewhere instead of being wasted and increases community. have it regularly cleaned and organised by date?

Certain foods are a big source of greenhouse gasses which are bad for the environment

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:11:09 UTC

A vegan or veggie shop can help stop this- could encourage this with the recipies?

Too good to go encourages walking for food rather than ordering take out

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:11:56 UTC

Could do a similar thing on the app, counts steps?

Donation points only accept certain stored foods such as cans

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:13:18 UTC

could we do something with fresh fruits and vegetable waste? Diversified diet will make me happier & healthier

buying local reduces co2

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:15:37 UTC

encouraging the importance of this, could have an eco eats stand on the thursday market?

Develop a digital application like chiefeye tech (the uni of bristol)

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:20:55 UTC

before throwing away food, waste food needs to be weighed, then with the help of this application and transactions of images, staff can identify the highest food waste stream. staff can then modify orders online, evaluate student preferences and predict demands- avoiding repeat wastage.

this will be very timely for the people watching it- how can we make it more time effective?

Eco eats could partner with other societies e.g. afro caribbean society or baking society in order to promote and make the cooking lessons exciting and happen weekly through term

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:24:34 UTC

interesting new experience, exciting, socialising

making food social and also bringing peoples attention to different societies

section on application titled 'african cooking class' 'indian cooking class' etc when clicked on, will show recipes and dates of upcoming classes

doesnt have to be just cooking societies- sports teams could get involved too if they have a recipe they want to share

great for publicity to raise awareness of the initiative

Poor management of resources mwans a lot of food is needed to cook one dish and the rest stays and goes bad

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:26:30 UTC

multiple recipes for one food shop

saving money, time and food waste

left over food i fridge can be donated within colleges or can be swapped between flats

avasims25_ — 2023-11-21 16:27:16 UTC

section on website with popup notifications alerting people of new available food with location stated e.g. delicious cupcakes @ bowland college

feeling of community, creating an opportunity to share and getting to know other people through food

could be a sustainable baking society who dnate the left over items from baking to students who are missing these ingredients from their meals
