Food Lifecycle
The Food Lifecycle project is an attempt to facilitate the use of data when making choices around the cultivation and consumption of food.
Grow
- Site selection - Where to place garden beds, plots, or individual plants based on sunlight, existing soil, drainage, etc.
- Plant Selection - climate, available tasks, productions goals, grouping symbiotic plants or plants that require similar conditions, preventing planting of incompatible plants
- Scheduled Tasks - prune, weed, harvest, etc.
- Yield Calculator - Yield expectations based on square footage/number of plants
- Preservation - Canning/preserving technique suggestions
- Accessibility - Filters out suggestions that might be difficult for some individuals to physically accomplish due to disabilities.
Eat
- Macgyver Mode - What can I make with what I have in the refrigerator and utensils and cooking tools that i have?
- Shopping Planner - What should I buy to maximize for nutrients, for calories, etc.
- Exclusion Filtering - food exclusions from allergy, dietary restrictions or dislike
- Grow Schedule Sync - What can I expect to use when from "Grow" based on the harvest schedule?
- Well-Structured Recipes - include meta like utensils required, time for each step, etc. to make it easier to time things to come out at the same time, and to provide relevant results
