From local delivery software emphasizing simplicity and rights-based food and vegetable companies that focus on affordability and accessibility to social entrepreneurship retreats serving healthy meals, these organic food social enterprises at least have one thing in common. A good number of these innovation do the same thing albeit differently: food collective delivery boxes or baskets, which isn't a novel idea to say the least. However, many of theses businesses and co-ops are using technological methods in order to access more people and also make it easier for the customers themselves.
What is obviously, missing, however are those organic food social enterprises that aren't simply middle class pursuits -- a common drawback of what's come to be known as local food or organic food movement in North America.
