About Local Food Shift
Most of the food we eat comes from sources hundreds or thousands of miles away. Local Food Shift is working to help bring every community's "foodshed" closer to home.
Little by little, we're shifting the global diet to the local, to food that is raised, caught, processed, cooked, distributed and sold by people in your community or nearby, people that you know and trust.
In most communities, less than three precent of food consumption is locally-grown and locally-produced. We're inviting everyone—individuals, families, businesses, schools, restaurants, and institutions—to devote up to 10 percent of their food budget to local food.
Case Study: Local Food Shift
Local Food Shift is powered by the Foodtree API. Food business records, their connections within the food system, and robust mapping solutions are all a part of this integration.
Useful food information for apps and publications.
We're looking for partners to alpha test our API. Please contact us if you're building tools for eaters to navigate the food system...recipe apps, allergy apps, restaurants apps.
