It\u2019s absolutely essential for these alternative systems to develop. This tool enables everyone to contribute to fill in information, that can be used to grow this virtual community, gathering connections and strength until finally it is the new mainstream agri-food system.<\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.4″ background_color=”#e5f6e2″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” _builder_version=”3.25″ max_width=”700px” module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Henry Allison & Olivia James” company_name=”Down Farm, Devon” portrait_url=”http:\/\/about.openfoodnetwork.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DevonFarm.jpg” quote_icon=”off” portrait_width=”160px” portrait_height=”160px” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ use_background_color=”off” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px||”]<\/p>\n “We have only just joined the Open Food Network and it is great.

food distribution system. \u00a0It appears that we now have it. \u00a0The online, open source, not-for-profit Open Food Network is owned and controlled by the people who grow, rear, process and eat the food. \u00a0It is providing a growing Network of food and drink producers and small-scale retailers with a rich variety of routes to market that enable transparency for the shoppers and buyers along with maximum returns to the people who are producing our food. \u00a0Are supermarkets\u2019 days numbered?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

and food co-ops \u2013 all making use of the same online system to build distribution and retail networks that would never have happened without Open Food Network.<\/p>\n \u201cOpen Food Network has increased my turnover, making it easy for people to add products to their weekly veg box, pay online and give us any special delivery instructions.\u00a0 Open Food Network produces useful reports to
