A study by Oxford University concluded that the single most impactful action a person can do to help the environment is to go vegan.
Veganalysis aims to do it's part to help the environment by demonstrating how one simple change can have such a dramatic positive impact.
Simply search for a recipe, and Veganalysis will suggest simple substitutions to "veganise" the recipe. What's more, Veganalysis will calculate how much Carbon Dioxide Equivalent gas is saved by following the substitutions.
Veganalysis's MVP was launced after it was made for the Lockdoneathon hackathon in August 2020. It is built using React, HTML, CSS and a sprinkle of vanilla JS. View the github repo. Veganalysis was built by William Harding. Disclaimer: Veganalysis is a work in progress, and the data used to inform substitutions and calculations is incomplete, so you may see some non-vegan ingredients that are not flagged / may not have a substitute, or vegan ingredients that have accidentally been flagged as non-vegan.
- Implement recipe sharing through social media
- Apply ingredient changes to the method as well as the ingredients list
- Allow users to log in to save recipes
- Allow users to make their own suggestions of substitutions
- Expand substitutions dataset
- Add references for carbon footprint calculations
