About Consupedia’s database

Our database is at the core of all of our services. Developed in collaboration with scientists at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Dalarna University, it is the world’s most comprehensive and holistic database on food sustainability.

We use AI to connect food ingredients to information about their sustainability. All data is gathered from leading sources such as the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the Swedish Food Agency, the European Food Safety Authority, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, Amfori, the International Labour Organisation, and many more.

Consupedia assigns sustainability data to each product in three steps:

Step 1
We search through a number of databases to acquire the necessary sustainability data to analyze the product. All data is gathered from leading sources such as the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the Swedish Food Agency and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden.
Step 2
Our Consupedia bots (AI) sift through the massive amounts of text to find and sort relevant information into table format.
Step 3
The table format allows us to connect every row in the table (for example an ingredient) to an infinite amount of information on how it impacts biological diversity, social justice, climate, and so on.

We are constantly adding new data sources and parameters as scientific knowledge about food and sustainability increases. Our tools utilize the power of the database in different ways. This makes it something of a swiss army knife — versatile and razor-sharp — ready to be used for sustainable change anywhere in the entire food system.
