Food social bridging the distance between the city and people

  • New alliances

How might we create an identity for the new locals and enhance people’s living experience?
The project FOODPRINT leverages a food station equipped with novel kitchen techniques and a food fresh-keeping system in the city of Laval, with more than 400 years of agriculture history. Through the reservation system which collaborates with local farmers and food providers, people could reserve the pre-cooking packages provided by local producers and book the food station in advance or register the community activities period organize in the park. This system enlightens the traditional industry and establishes a bridge between local food providers and customers by increasing people’s ac- accessibility to local food and reshape a new food social relationship. Taking advantage of analyzing food-related hashtags and geotags in the existing social media including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, food stations are designed by categorization of cuisines based on people’s needs.


How might we create an identity for the new locals and enhance people’s living experience?

A platform that connects the city through food and agriculture

An innovative food supply system that envisions the future of agriculture.

By combining a frontend physical cooking station equipped with multi-function cooking techniques and a backend cloud database, which collects customized recipes and uses machine learning algorithms for matching local ingredients providers, Footprint empowers both personal and social interaction with agriculture and food. Among the technology, components are cross-modal embeddings, multi-function cooking system as well as a path optimization algorithm.

Food social becomes a new fashion.
