  1. How cool is this "Seed"?

    Does it have future growth potential?

    Good again, Vittoria. Spot on. A Cool Seed in itself (two years ago in France alone, now apparently traveling to the Mediterranean). People are critical and with the new monitoring technologies: this is the trend. Well-hunted. Well-documented, Vittoria.

  2. How cool is this "Seed"?

    Does it have future growth potential?

    I really enjoyed reading your blog about Yuka! I had that app a few years ago, and it was very useful! Just scanning barcodes and receiving instant health ratings is such a game-changer for making informed choices while shopping. I appreciate how you emphasized the importance of sustainability and ethical choices, as it’s crucial for consumers to be aware of the impact their food choices have on the planet. Your insights into Yuka’s potential for future growth are spot on, especially with the increasing demand for healthier options. However, I believe this app was launched more than five years ago, so it should already be well-established instead of future potential.

  3. I might go and download this myself! I think here in America this app would be HIGHLY beneficial to weed out the junk sold in stores that they try to pass off as food. I also love that they also include notes about the product’s environmental impact; they really put time and effort into thinking about all the different sides of choosing nourishment! I’m sold!
