FOODWEB - Studying Food Consumption and Production Patterns on the Web.

Food is a central part of our daily lives and is one of the most important factors that shape our health and wellbeing. Although research on individual food preferences has existed as a well-established field of study for several decades, there has been very little attention devoted to understanding recipe consumption and production patterns on the World Wide Web. To contribute to knowledge in this area, we recently initiated "FOODWEB", a research project that studies traces of users online with the goal of better understanding how we consume and produce food.
