Food startup Hungryroot uses AI to reduce waste, a major climate offender

▤ Summary

That adds up to excess production, packaging, storage and delivery requirements, all negatively contributing to climate change. A recent study published in the journal Science found that food production accounts for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Food delivery services like HelloFresh, Blue Apron and EveryPlate reduce that somewhat by sending consumers what they need for specific recipes. The 9-year-old company — using artificial intelligence — is providing a more curated experience and delivering the precise amount of food a consumer will use. Hungryroot sends users a list of whats in their weekly cart, allowing them to approve or change items.
