liveco - Seasonal calendar

For our project we dealt with the question of how we could support people who want to live more environmentally consciously. For many of us the will is there, but often it fails because of laziness or because we don’t know where to start.

What is liveco?

liveco is an app that helps users to shop more environmentally consciously. The main feature is a seasonal calendar, which informs the user quickly and easily which products are seasonally available in the current month. A filter option and the search bar allow users to quickly find the different fruits and vegetables. Additional information on the seasonal status and nutrition can be found by clicking on a specific vegetable or fruit. Links to recipes for the selected vegetable or fruit inspire and motivate the user to buy the seasonal products. For non-seasonal products, information is displayed when the vegetable or fruit is seasonal again and why it is worth waiting for the right season. To reduce the effort even more, we integrated a map where you can find places that offer seasonal products. For each store it is shown what seasonal products are currently available there and the edit mode offers the possibility to inform the community and update the availability in the stores.

All these features are intended to make it easier to access seasonal products, to provide additional information about fruits and vegetables and to motivate and support the user to shop in an environmentally conscious and seasonal way.
