Food Sustainability Estimator
A planned tool for estimating nutrition, environmental impact, and nutrient-flow insights for food products, recipes, dishes, and menus.
What this tool will do
The Food Sustainability Estimator is the first business-focused MVP for SustainabilityFlows. It will help turn food data into clear decision-support and report-ready insights.
1. Food or recipe input
Enter a product, dish, ingredient list, serving size, or small menu for analysis.
2. Nutrition estimate
Estimate energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals using food composition data.
3. Sustainability estimate
Connect ingredients to estimated climate, water, land, waste, and resource-use indicators where data is available.
4. Nutrient-flow explanation
Explain carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, water, organic matter, and circularity logic in plain language.
5. Business-ready report
Create a clear summary that can support product comparison, menu planning, customer communication, or improvement decisions.
6. Confidence level
Show whether the estimate is high, medium, or low confidence based on data quality and ingredient matching.
Try the live food database search
Search food items from the imported Livsmedelsverket food composition database. Nutrient names are shown in English. Select a result to view nutrient values per 100 g.
Live API ready.
Base biological material
This connects the selected food item back to its biological material before field or farm production factors are added.
Element flow
Estimated nutrient element content for the selected quantity. This is not CO₂e.
Recipe / product builder
Add multiple ingredients to calculate total nutrition and element flows for a recipe, food product, or menu item.

Planned input fields
The first working version should stay simple. It will start with manual input before we connect APIs.
Product or dish name
Example: lentil soup, oat drink, chicken wrap, beef burger, salad bowl, bakery product, or full menu item.
Ingredient list
Ingredients and quantities in grams, kilograms, or portions where available.
Serving size
Per 100 g, per serving, or per full recipe/menu item.
Origin and supplier details
Optional details that can improve sustainability assumptions and confidence level.
Planned data sources
Later versions can connect trusted food and sustainability data sources. All estimates should remain transparent about assumptions and limitations.
Want to test this before the full tool is built?
Send a product, recipe, dish, or small menu. We can prepare an early pilot analysis manually while the estimator is being developed.
