'Make Farming secure, profitable and cooler again'. My project is currently in the community review process in Fund12 of the Catalyst Cardano Proposals - we're developing similar measures proposed by the Sustainable Food Trust where we've developed a web3 solution with traditional bricks and mortar greengrocery that supports the local economy with a secure food supply, for a profitable return for the farmers/growers with a regenerative action for innovation and investment that supports on the farm to and for the family. Issues: High barriers to entry: Local food retailers struggle to compete with larger supermarkets.  Lack of support for workers: Low pay, long hours, and burnout hinder scaling efforts despite strong interest and passion.  Lack of local, sustainable produce: Farm-level issues and the need for government action limit supply.  Setup constraints and infrastructure limitations: The sector lacks expertise and coordination, with gaps in both physical and digital infrastructure.  High costs and customer demand gap: Local food often costs more, challenging customers. Insufficient customer offerings and lack of marketing capacity also hinder demand and scaling. Solutions: Policy support: Including levelling the playing field with larger players and enable businesses to attract and retain talent.  Aggregation: Streamline admin, logistics, processing, and marketing through food hubs, online platforms, and cooperatives.  Investment: To build necessary infrastructure such as local food processors, and food aggregation hubs. Sector coordination: To enable streamlining and economies of scale.   Customer demand generation: through marketing and a better, and more convenient customer offer.
