00:00.000 --> 00:21.240
Hello everyone, so next talk, we have Pierre here who we talk to us about some open

00:21.240 --> 00:35.320
food facts. Hello everyone, so by show of and already knows open food facts somewhat, okay,

00:35.320 --> 00:42.240
so half of the rule, so we will briefly introduce open food facts for the other

00:42.240 --> 00:51.680
story. By show of hand, who has used Nutri score to choose the products they eat in the supermarket?

00:51.680 --> 00:58.600
Okay, most of you, at least in the important countries, so we will show, actually, open food

00:58.600 --> 01:03.560
facts was part of Nutri's cost story, so I will tell a little bit about that, but let's get

01:03.560 --> 01:09.640
into the menu, I mean, open food facts is all about menus, right? So, I just talk about

01:09.640 --> 01:16.640
open food facts and open prices, or latest project, but you may not know of, then I will dive

01:16.640 --> 01:22.240
into open product facts, since this year's topic is about consumption, not just food, but even

01:22.240 --> 01:29.240
beyond food, cosmetics and other products. And finally, I will give you a state of open

01:29.240 --> 01:34.280
food activity, what's new in the community, what we have achieved this past year, and

01:34.280 --> 01:41.480
that's actually very exciting. So, open food facts, open food facts, we created it out of

01:41.480 --> 01:46.200
the question, how do you pick the right zero package in the supermarket? You have a lot of

01:46.200 --> 01:51.880
packets, if you want to pick the right one for your child, it's hard, you have to flip the

01:51.880 --> 01:56.000
packets, in most countries, you don't have Nutri score, at least when we started, we didn't

01:56.000 --> 02:01.480
have Nutri score yet, and you have to look at being redundantly, the Nutriation table for

02:01.480 --> 02:06.920
me, it's pure abstract art, you have to be a food scientist to understand and to make sense

02:06.920 --> 02:12.280
out of it, and ingredient list that you can't read. And yet, the impact on public health

02:12.280 --> 02:18.920
is massive. It's estimated that 3% of the European GDP is wiped out by the consequences

02:18.920 --> 02:28.920
of overweight and obesity. It's the first cause after tobacco and gun violence of a societal

02:29.000 --> 02:34.760
impact, and yet the solutions are simple, things like labeling, transparency can change again.

02:37.320 --> 02:42.120
And the open food fact is all about empowering citizens to make an impact on their

02:42.120 --> 02:47.720
whole health, on the planetary health, and on the food system as large. When you fill

02:47.720 --> 02:56.120
this important in the supermarket, we say, don't panic, organize, basically open food

02:56.200 --> 03:04.520
fact is about organizing to transfer the food system. If people could basically map the word knowledge

03:04.520 --> 03:10.200
with Wikipedia, if they could do that with the word street with open street map, we set out to

03:10.200 --> 03:16.680
basically do the same with products that we consume every day. The mission of NGO is to enable

03:16.680 --> 03:23.000
everyone to measure and transform the impact of consumption on your health and the planet's health.

03:23.080 --> 03:30.840
How do we do it? Basically, we are non-profit, so we are not a startup, we are NGO, we are community.

03:31.720 --> 03:38.280
We believe that the problems are shared across countries, so all tools are global, and the solutions

03:38.280 --> 03:45.640
are open. We also, of course, have open methodologies, open data, open source, even the scores

03:45.640 --> 03:52.360
we believe should be open. And we like also to partners with other organizations to increase our impact.

03:53.000 --> 04:00.760
We have an API. We are also very proud to tell you that the community was designated a digital

04:00.760 --> 04:07.640
public this year by the UN. We help with good health, responsible consumption and climate action.

04:10.600 --> 04:17.240
So what is it concretely? Open food fact is a website database where you can find four million

04:17.240 --> 04:24.200
products that were added by users, contributors, but also the food industry, which has started to

04:24.200 --> 04:31.400
see our impact and decided that they could cooperate. So data transparency is becoming the

04:31.400 --> 04:38.280
norm, even people like Nestle and Unidiver are starting to realize that they can't push back,

04:38.280 --> 04:45.400
they need to cooperate. And how do we collect that? We use the mobile app, so where you can have

04:45.480 --> 04:51.160
Nutri score, green score, and you can also take pictures of products in your country.

04:51.160 --> 04:56.440
If a product is missing, you have a port to add it, so that the next person has to

04:56.440 --> 05:03.640
you benefit from your effort. And that way we could compute four million scores on four million products.

05:05.240 --> 05:09.720
So Nutri score, green score, it's just a barcode scan, it's very easy.

05:10.680 --> 05:18.760
And basically what we achieved is that when we started, we discovered a paper called the five

05:18.760 --> 05:24.760
corals score, that was the old name of the Nutri score. And we started computing it, the community

05:24.760 --> 05:29.400
started computing in our own products. So when you see the first photo I showed on the

05:29.400 --> 05:38.440
zero super market here, the contributor started adding a score to the products, what it would

05:38.440 --> 05:43.400
look like if they had scores. And a couple of years later, actually in France, in Belgium,

05:43.400 --> 05:48.440
in many of the countries, you have Nutri score everywhere. So this shows that basically digital

05:49.400 --> 05:54.200
solutions and open source can have a real life impact on policy. And that's really,

05:55.320 --> 06:02.120
really exciting that we go from just a bunch of Dix computing scores to actually a real policy impact.

06:02.600 --> 06:10.680
So yeah, a little zoom. In news also, with Nutri score, this year we introduced the new Nutri score

06:10.680 --> 06:17.880
formula following the formula of processor IRberg. So it's more, products will have

06:17.880 --> 06:24.600
worse grade from most of them. Unfortunately, it's still not compulsory. So because some

06:24.600 --> 06:31.480
European countries are blocking, but basically some of our ambassadors are mobilizing for something

06:31.480 --> 06:39.400
Latvia to create petitions and to bring it forward. So yeah, I'm going to skip quickly on that.

06:39.400 --> 06:47.720
It's really, or impact with Nutri score, the really cool thing is that beyond just digital,

06:47.720 --> 06:53.400
you have it on the packaging. And you start seeing new products being reformulated. So you see

06:53.400 --> 06:58.840
the new product being introduced, being actually healthier. So even if you don't use a digital app,

06:58.920 --> 07:10.520
you benefit from the impact of open food facts. The second score we show is Nova. On ultra-process

07:10.520 --> 07:15.400
food, the short story is that you should avoid anything Nova 4 as much as possible,

07:15.400 --> 07:22.760
because it's related to increase the risk of cancer of diabetes. So it's typically list of

07:22.760 --> 07:29.960
ingredients you can't understand. So for instance, on tomato, you have tomatoes, which is a regular

07:29.960 --> 07:37.800
and ingredients up to the ketchup, which usually has a bunch of additives. And the first score we

07:37.800 --> 07:43.800
show is the green score to have environmental impact. So we are based on what is called life-cycle

07:43.800 --> 07:49.240
assessment. So very complex, very expensive computation, but we're open source by the French

07:49.240 --> 07:56.040
government. And then we add specific points, a positive or negative based on the product.

07:58.600 --> 08:05.000
So know that you have all these data based, what can we do with it? We can do really fun stuff

08:05.000 --> 08:12.600
like for instance, we just compare Fanta across Europe. So since open food facts is across time and space,

08:12.600 --> 08:18.360
we just looked at Fanta. And so we realized that in Italy, for instance, Fanta is 12

08:18.360 --> 08:24.440
around 12 percent food. But if you look at Serbia, Fanta goes down to 3 percent fruits.

08:26.440 --> 08:31.720
And in Portugal, you have 8 percent fruits, so that's a bit better, but you have a high high

08:31.720 --> 08:37.160
high fructose concept in it. And in the French island of Reno, you have actually zero

08:37.160 --> 08:44.200
percent fruit in Fanta. Based on the processing plant, it's made in. We can do also fun stuff

08:44.280 --> 08:50.760
using the European trustability codes. We can make a map of factory and you can see what products

08:50.760 --> 08:55.560
are made in the same factory as your products. And you will realize that expensive brands are

08:55.560 --> 09:01.800
oftentimes producing the same factory. You can even, like the first, my first slide, you can actually

09:01.800 --> 09:07.640
visualize it on a graph. So you can pick very easily the best errors for you. So you can actually

09:08.280 --> 09:17.160
create your own graph in like one minute, one or two minutes. You can also, we started like a year

09:17.160 --> 09:22.440
on a half a goal collecting prices. I see a half I learned in the room. So it's actually

09:22.440 --> 09:27.960
open price. It was the first project created entirely by the community and not the permanent team.

09:29.000 --> 09:36.040
And it's all about basically answering what, so we, for open fact, was what's in my food, open price

09:36.920 --> 09:44.440
at what price is my food. So open price is a crop so that the basis of prices. We don't scrape

09:44.440 --> 09:51.640
because of legal reason, but we have already achieved around 200,000 prices across the planet.

09:51.640 --> 10:00.840
So it's impressive in such a short time. And you can visualize prices in near your home or over time.

10:00.840 --> 10:06.680
So we can see inflation, we can see shrink inflation, and we can see all of those kinds of things.

10:06.680 --> 10:12.440
It's very easy to contribute a price. And we even have no some artificial intelligence

10:13.160 --> 10:19.640
to allow you to upload either a photo of a supermarket with price, price tags or receipts.

10:19.640 --> 10:26.840
And then we help you extract the data, the community validates, and the price are added.

10:27.240 --> 10:34.920
So I'm going to accelerate a little bit since there are only five minutes left. And so we have

10:34.920 --> 10:42.040
a very fun challenge every month. So I invite you to join the fun, a couple of months ago it was

10:42.040 --> 10:50.280
Nutella, but we are doing new films every month. We also have a platform for producers to encourage

10:50.600 --> 10:56.440
producers to improve their product. So we help them get a better Nutri score by telling them,

10:56.440 --> 11:02.280
you could reduce sugar a little bit to go from Nutri score to Nutri score A. So we don't stop

11:02.280 --> 11:09.160
at basically informing consumers, we try also to help producers get better. And actually we have

11:09.160 --> 11:15.400
already a lot of friends who have shared as open data there are product catalogs, which is really cool.

11:16.360 --> 11:23.160
We really hope that by collecting data and using creating open data we are able to basically

11:23.160 --> 11:31.880
change consumer behaviors but also change a producer supply. Now I'm going to change topics.

11:31.880 --> 11:37.640
So we talked about food. I'm going to talk about our latest project called Open Product Facts.

11:38.360 --> 11:45.400
And it's really about extending the life of objects. We are surrounded by objects basically.

11:46.600 --> 11:53.400
And some of us, we don't like them anymore. They don't no longer serve us a useful purpose or

11:53.400 --> 12:00.040
we don't like them anymore. And they end up in the incinerator and we buy new stuff to replace them.

12:00.040 --> 12:07.080
So Open Product Facts is really about creating the data to ensure that we give products a

12:07.080 --> 12:14.680
second a third life that we increase their life span using facilitated circular solution.

12:15.400 --> 12:22.840
So we show the repairability index. We show carbon emissions. We have an experiment to give

12:23.400 --> 12:29.320
options for donations or basically circular solutions for these specific products.

12:30.680 --> 12:36.760
We have a TVNU system also to allow you to model anything. So the projector, this microphone,

12:36.760 --> 12:41.880
or anything that you can possibly imagine. And finally, if you have the Open Facts up and

12:41.880 --> 12:47.800
you have updated your return key, you can actually scan non-food items. You can scan cosmetics

12:47.800 --> 12:53.720
and you can scan anything that has a barcode. And you can, of course, add products to the database.

12:53.720 --> 12:59.560
So it's not just food anymore. Open Product Facts is really a long term challenge.

12:59.560 --> 13:04.440
Since basically the circular economy is fragmented by category. You don't screw cycle

13:04.520 --> 13:11.160
the smartphone or a long bar in the same way. It's fragmented by basically the life of the products.

13:11.160 --> 13:17.800
So we use recycling repair. Those are different circular actors. So the game is going to be

13:17.800 --> 13:25.640
to have a catalogue of all of those in a single place. There's also a geographical fragmentation,

13:25.640 --> 13:31.720
not the same in France, Germany or even in parts of France, for instance. And finally,

13:31.800 --> 13:38.120
there's an absence of compatibility between actors. So it's a nightmare at the moment.

13:39.320 --> 13:43.800
And we estimate that there's one billion products in the world with a barcode.

13:43.800 --> 13:49.800
For reference, we have four million. So we have still one percent done. And so we are going to

13:49.800 --> 13:54.760
need a lot of help, especially since the products, most of the products that are non-food,

13:54.760 --> 14:01.080
don't have a barcode after their bought. And so we need some advanced techniques to solve it.

14:02.440 --> 14:08.520
We also have open duty and open pet food. You can ask about those on the stand and we also need

14:08.520 --> 14:14.440
help on the on those topics. So our latest milestone, and I'm going to go very, very quickly.

14:14.440 --> 14:20.920
After a basic computer, you'll just call another. We are on our four million products this year.

14:22.280 --> 14:29.640
180 countries, 7 million people use no use the open effect app every month. We are on our

14:29.640 --> 14:43.480
1000, 1000 reuse in our community. So basically, I'm going to skip. We crossed the 200,000 prices

14:43.480 --> 14:48.840
last year. The good news is also the growth is more international. It's not from anymore.

14:49.800 --> 14:54.680
We need help on infrastructure. We made a steady progress, not to be on backup,

14:54.680 --> 15:01.080
automation, etc. But we have a lot of bots to fight. The web team also included

15:03.800 --> 15:09.000
banning radiance. So if you don't like pineapple, you'll be able to ban pineapple from the

15:09.000 --> 15:16.840
mobile app and the web. So you can, you know, fully customize what you care about.

15:18.760 --> 15:23.960
Open prices, the notable thing is that we are using more artificial intelligence.

15:25.320 --> 15:34.920
Open beauty fact, banning radiance. Sorry. Yeah. Also, we will, yeah. Robot off about machine learning

15:35.960 --> 15:42.120
and we we made a lot of progress on nutrition extraction. Sorry, I'm going to basically skip

15:42.120 --> 15:54.040
to the good part immediately. Sorry. Sorry about that. I'm going to, and yeah, I'm using

15:54.040 --> 16:02.920
a non-free solution. I apologize for that. So the next step will be open fact explorer. We are

16:03.960 --> 16:09.320
rewriting open to fact completely as a front end. So we need a lot of help in JavaScript.

16:10.760 --> 16:16.680
Yeah, a nice story about also all our users around a thousand or scientific impact

16:17.640 --> 16:23.880
a thousand. And finally, a call for help. Basically, we need all the volunteer help. We can,

16:23.880 --> 16:30.920
we can take in a bit, Python, JavaScript, machine learning. Every help is welcome.

16:30.920 --> 16:34.280
You can actually join the stupid year. Thank you so much.
