F.OO.D.L.Y. stems from the need for a more sustainable future. Food is one of the greatest polluters of the planet and students must take action by adopting and promoting sustainable consumption behaviours. F.O.O.D.L.Y is a platform where students can find one-person recipes, cooking ideas for leftovers, basic notions on sustainability and a community to share the vision for a cleaner and better world.
As all of us are in different Master Degrees, we have the privilege of having very differentiated skills and knowledge. Certainly, this would be helpful when pushing forward the project as well as analysing its weaknesses and strengths. More specifically, we are enrolled in degrees of Communication, Marketing, Management and Finance. Hence, we could divide our project tasks according to knowledge we already gained. During the process, finding specific tasks according to everyone’s preferences and previous experiences would render work much more efficient.
Regarding the partners, we plan to apply for venture capital investments from public funds. We can also launch a crowdfunding campaign and Sciences Po’s opportunities by applying to “L’incubateur Sciences Po”. Sustainable supermarkets and companies will be our partners that we will be promoted in return on the application.
Related to the question of sponsors, we shall manage to build meaningful cooperations with Too Good To Go or Yuka. These startups, by fighting against food waste and bad nutrition, could make us benefit from their users communities. We could also look for the state’s support for our project, scheduling a meeting with the Ministry of Education (as our app benefits students) and, not to be forgotten, Ministry of Health.
