Sustainability Feature - Complete Implementation ✅
Implementation Date
Completed: October 21, 2025
Overview
The bakery-ia platform now has a fully functional, production-ready sustainability tracking system aligned with UN SDG 12.3 and EU Green Deal objectives. This feature enables grant applications, environmental impact reporting, and food waste reduction tracking.
🎯 What Was Implemented
1. Backend Services (Complete)
Inventory Service (services/inventory/)
-
✅ Sustainability Service - Core calculation engine
- Environmental impact calculations (CO2, water, land use)
- SDG 12.3 compliance tracking
- Grant program eligibility assessment
- Waste avoided through AI calculation
- Financial impact analysis
-
✅ Sustainability API - 5 REST endpoints
GET /sustainability/metrics- Full sustainability metricsGET /sustainability/widget- Dashboard widget dataGET /sustainability/sdg-compliance- SDG statusGET /sustainability/environmental-impact- Environmental detailsPOST /sustainability/export/grant-report- Grant applications
-
✅ Inter-Service Communication
- HTTP calls to Production Service for production waste data
- Graceful degradation if services unavailable
- Timeout handling (30s for waste, 10s for baseline)
Production Service (services/production/)
-
✅ Waste Analytics Endpoint
GET /production/waste-analytics- Production waste data- Returns: waste_quantity, defect_quantity, planned_quantity, actual_quantity
- Tracks AI-assisted batches (forecast_id != NULL)
- Queries production_batches table with date range
-
✅ Baseline Metrics Endpoint
GET /production/baseline- First 90 days baseline- Calculates waste percentage from historical data
- Falls back to industry average (25%) if insufficient data
- Returns data_available flag
Gateway Service (gateway/)
- ✅ Routing Configuration
/api/v1/tenants/{id}/sustainability/*→ Inventory Service- Proper proxy setup in
routes/tenant.py
2. Frontend (Complete)
React Components (frontend/src/)
-
✅ SustainabilityWidget - Beautiful dashboard card
- SDG 12.3 progress bar
- Key metrics grid (waste, CO2, water, grants)
- Financial savings highlight
- Export and detail actions
- Fully responsive design
-
✅ React Hooks
