More details
The Virtual Farmers’ Market aims to facilitate the distribution of local food and drink from producers and allotment owners to communities in Bristol, reducing emissions at every stage of the food chain. The Virtual Farmers' Market will deploy cutting edge technology, and offer communities an easy way to order online, the exact food and drink they want and have it delivered to their doorstep. Suppliers will benefit from a wide marketing campaign and a growing online and offline community interested in local food. The proposal has already successfully passed through to the second stage of the Nesta Big Green Challenge (www.biggreenchallenge.org.uk).
