Long Description
|
Locavore is an app which recommends eating both seasonal and local fruits and vegetables to its users based on the location, which the app detects thanks to the GPS installed in their phones. It means that everyone can use it anywhere in the world. Moreover, one can also search for agricultural venues such as open farms located nearby. It is innovative as it not only helps local communities ensuring a source of income for them but also such a practice aims at minimising carbon emissions which are produced as a result of transportation of products from far away. Although the platform charges a commission which equals 5% for sales, one can join, browse or post listings free of charge.
