Agriculture challenges

Cities have a mere 3 days' supply of food.


Shortages of food caused by strikes over fuel prices: 2018 (Brazil) and 2000 (UK).

Food miles

Fresh food travels over 1,500 miles in US.

 

Oil-dependent food system.

 

Complexity of logistics and distribution.

Food desert

Areas in cities with no access to healthy, nutritions and fresh foods

 

Solution
