Open Food Network Uk

The Open Food Network exists to enable healthy and connected communities to build more resilient, diverse and secure food systems that nourish everybody and regenerate the Earth. Our flagship project is an open-source e-commerce platform tailored specifically to community food enterprises and local food producers. But, we’re not just a software platform, we also create shared resources, facilitate community learning opportunities, host events, contribute valuable research to build the evidence base for short supply chains and community-driven food systems - and more! The Open Food Network is a not-for-profit co-op and is committed to non-hierarchical and sociocratic ways of working. We are constantly working to develop ways to operationalise our values such that people feel like they can bring their whole selves to work. “Our mission is to support food enterprises, producers and communities to build fairer food systems and thrive online enabled by our commons of software, resources and community-learning networks.” Founded in 2012, the Open Food Network is now an international community that is locally-led across the world. Open Food Network operates in 20 countries & more join us every year.
