Developed to advance the work of the Chicago Global Shapers through the UNESCO x Nestlé Because Youth Matter initiative, this platform provides a dual-layered approach to food equity in Chicago.
By integrating The Chicago Grocery Grid, a verified mapping of the city's retail grocery infrastructure, with the Sifted Provisions AI Tool, we enable users to locate local resources and instantly adapt a select set of recipes to their specific dietary needs and budgets. We believe access to healthy food is a fundamental right. By leveraging artificial intelligence and localized data, we ensure that nutritious and cost-efficient meals remain accessible, affordable, and inclusive for every neighborhood.
Chicago Global Shapers is a globally recognized network of young leaders and changemakers, part of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community. Our mission is to improve the lives of Chicagoans while addressing regional and global challenges through collaborative, community-driven solutions.
The UNESCO x Nestlé Because Youth Matter initiative supports youth-led innovations that tackle pressing social challenges. Through this grant, young leaders are empowered to design and implement scalable solutions that create lasting impact in their communities.
The Sifted Provisions AI Tool uses our public index to adapt professional recipes into custom, allergy-safe, and budget-friendly meals optimized for Chicago grocery prices.
The Chicago Grocery Grid is a verified dataset and interactive analysis platform mapping every retail food establishment in Chicago; built by cross-referencing city business licenses against health inspection records.
