local food distribution

Local food distribution refers to the process of moving freshly produced or locally sourced food from farms, producers, or suppliers directly to nearby markets, stores, restaurants, or consumers. It involves transportation, logistics, and supply chain management to ensure food remains fresh and safe. The goal is to support local economies, reduce environmental impact through shorter travel distances, and provide consumers with farm-fresh options. Efficient local distribution often includes coordinating schedules, managing inventory, and ensuring food quality from source to point of sale, fostering a resilient and sustainable food system within a community.
