The Covid crisis has been devastating for a lot of people. So this is our solution to fight the crisis and help the local communities grow. In 2020 we can state that the most wanted product is information. Strong local supply chains can be built if there is enough information.
People go to mass market and big retailers because they are well-known (read: well-advertised). Local businesses suffer from the lack of clients. With the usage of Internet on a daily basis it’s not better: people see what is promoted, and small businesses who do not have sufficient means for targeting remain unnoticed.
With the help of the strong communities it seems possible to create a network involving customers, local companies and regional state organisations. This network is profitable for all participants:
Customers get to know what is produced nearby. The delivery is faster, cheaper and more reliable.
Local businesses do not need to spend a fortune to be targeted at someone in the Internet. They know their clients and care about the quality of products and services.
State organizations like schools and shelters can be the base sources of income for local companies. Long-term contracts for food supply or for provision of services imply stable development and means for growing up and strengthening the network.
Another important effect from creating the community is building the trust. When you know from where your food comes from, you value it more.
