Description

Food waste presents a major challenge and is generally viewed negatively in our society today. Private households in particular contribute significantly to the problem.
‘Genießbar’ aims to motivate and raise awareness among users for more conscious food handling in everyday life. The app combines information such as storage tips and recipe suggestions with social interaction. Through joint cooking events and the exchange of no longer needed food items among users, people can meet new friends and build friendships.
Using an app is especially suitable for young adults who have little experience with cooking and household management, as smartphones are a popular medium for obtaining information in this age group. At the same time, it requires little effort. An app can be conveniently used from home at any time and is independent of financial and spatial factors.
