Demonstration

Fictional example: Harvest Loop

Marketplace turning surplus produce from local farms into subscription boxes.

The problem

Small farms throw away produce that is too big, too small or too plentiful for supermarkets, while nearby households want fresh local food at a fair price.

The idea

A weekly box built from what local farms have left over, ordered online and collected from a neighbourhood pick-up point.

What exists so far

  • Conversations with four farms about their weekly surplus
  • A paper prototype of the ordering page
