Greetings!
I am working with Kat Thornton to create a Wikibase instance for compiling global nutrition datasets. We're hoping that some of the data in this system are useful to other Wikimedia projects, especially Wikidata.
We are applying for WMF Project Grants to cover the costs of engineering and Edit-a-thon events:

If you have any feedback, please let us know! Also, if you support this idea, please consider adding an endorsement on that proposal page.
I realize I just missed the meetup yesterday but I'd love to come by next time to talk about the project.
Warm regards,
Mika
