Hot loaf of bread with machine learning

Marius Aleksander Olavsrud

Experience report (30 min)

In Norway alone, we throw away more than 105 million loaves of bread every year. According to Matsjokket, a documentary about food waste in Norway, presented by NRK, this is about ΒΌ of all food waste. About 40 million of these loaves are not even touched by a household, they are baked, transported to a store, to be thrown directly.

In this session we will demonstrate how we have helped Bunnpris, a Norwegian grocery chain, in taking responsibility and action towards a more sustainable and data driven society. You will learn more about how we have produced and implemented a machine learning model to reduce food waste. We will present our work methodology and what have been important in the machine learning journey and succession factors in the production phase.
