Making Europe more organic using the EcoLocal Market app
Get inspired by a Spanish app! To make the organic value chain fairer and more transparent, two women developers have created the EcoLocal Market app. This app helps minimise the carbon footprint generated by the everyday consumption of food and beverages and enhance dialogue between all value chain actors.
Operating for over a year, EcoLocal Market aims to (re)connect local organic food producers and consumers, all the while improving the environmental performance of the food supply chain by reducing food miles. The innovation? “Green Logistics for a Km Zero Organic Distribution” is the latest release of the mobile app and uses geo-localisation to optimise food distribution, consolidate deliveries and improve transport efficiency in the city centre.
The creators keep on building their start-up to deploy a stronger community and made it to finalists of the Tech Challenge Women for Climate.
