Why did we create nosh?

The app was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic totally changing most people’s food buying habits – from stockpiling groceries in the early weeks of the crisis to shopping less often, at different times and in different ways. This has meant households run the risk of having more food waste as they adapt to new shopping routines.

Computer scientists from the University of Essex’s School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering joined forces with colleagues in the University of Engineering and Management (UEM) in Kolkata, India to develop the free smartphone app for iOS and Android, capable of reminding households of the expiry date of the stocked items before they expire.
