Like most good ideas, the concept behind LarderBytes is remarkably simple. The system uses a virtual outlet to bring together producers and consumers.
The significance of this new approach to sustainable food is that by using our network the quantity and choice of foods delivered are designed to meet the specific needs of the customer. This is just one of the ways in which we address food waste at source. Why waste money buying food you don't need just to throw it in the bin.The alternative offered by the large retail outlets is a stock control unit, where the packaging machine determines the customer's needs, encouraging shoppers to buy more food than they actually need
Why spent quality time trudging the aisles, time that can be better spent with family or friends or in pursuit of hobbies and interests.
Shopping the LarderBytes way takes a few stress free minutes in the comfort of your armchair or office.
A combination of efficiency savings reduces the conventional monetary and environmental costs incurred. Next time you drive past the supermarket look at the car park and ask yourself "Is this environmentally friendly or even cost effective"? Saving food miles is about efficiency, if you reduce Co2 it must also reduce the cost to you!
Sustainable food, is about more than simply reduced food miles its about what you buy, how its sourced and consumed.Here at LarderBytes we are working on a number of projetcs which together will deliver the basis for a Sustianable Food strategy for the future. The following lists some of the project currently underway;
1. Food, Health and Nutrition (Urban & Rural)
2. Education (What's in it for me?)
3. Environmental Impact (Co2 & Waste)
