DirectFood.store - Securing the Food Supply Chain
Digital platform to connect consumers, restaurants, and local food producers.
Project Overview
The Problem
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians have seen disruptions to the food supply chain. Some products have been in short supply. Others have gone to waste with the downturn in restaurant business.
Moreover, producers accustomed to dealing with a single buyer were caught with no way to distribute their products and faced large financial losses. To maintain safety and physical distance, grocery stores have also had to limit the number of customers shopping at any given time.
Meanwhile, there is a growing demand for fresh food delivery through subscriptions, part of a trend of healthier, additive-free food with traceable origins.
