Description
"Others such as Yummly, Food Genius, Open Menu, and a group of us working on a Foodshed Open Data Standard are developing standards, formats, and ontologies for structuring various kinds of food data, making it easier to access, gain insights from, and share.
Developers like John Mertens at Code for America are developing API’s for USDA data, transforming it into a format others can easily build upon. And these are just a few examples- other startups are beginning to develop new farm management tools and distribution platforms."
