At Community Grocery Store (CGS), we are on a mission to empower local communities to reclaim self-sufficiency and revitalize localized food production and supply.
That’s why our team of professional problem solvers and future focused visionaries created Community Grocery Store, a sustainable, community driven app, built on blockchain technology, which connects and rewards consumers and growers.
Unlike every other food related app in existence, which acts as a digital extension of the supermarket-fast food complex, CGS does something no one else has dared to attempt. It connects consumer to consumer wanting to trade fresh produce. Take a moment to let that sink in.
Every major food app we are aware of right now exists to move products from businesses to consumer, not one has been designed to empower everyday people to trade freshly grown food directly with one another.
We wanted to give people greater control over where their food comes from and support local growers to contribute to their community and the global food supply.
We wanted communities to have access to fresh, affordable produce, grown locally, using sustainable farming practices.
We wanted to reduce our environmental footprint, connect communities, and create a more sustainable food future.
Community
With CGS, we are revolutionizing the global food supply chain for a more resilient future.
Strategy
CGS integrates AI, machine learning, and blockchain to transform food production and access. Growers gain smart tools to optimize yield, reduce waste, and boost profits, while consumers enjoy a seamless, affordable shopping experience via our user-friendly app. Blockchain minimizes fees, ensures transparency, and supports a decentralized financial ecosystem. Incentivized growth rewards referrals, fosters loyalty, and empowers community-driven governance.
Our technology, tools and resources support growers to optimize production, improve crop quality, reduce waste, and increase profits.
Our simple-to-use, visually appealing, globally available app makes local grocery shopping efficient, affordable and convenient.
Leveraging blockchain technology and digital currency minimizes transaction fees, preserves local currency value, and creates a cost-efficient, transparent ecosystem that benefits everyone.
Tokenomics
The global cost of living crisis has made it difficult to keep up with increasing grocery expenses… and there are no signs of it slowing down.
That’s why our team of professional problem solvers and future focused visionaries created Community Grocery Store, a sustainable, community driven app, built on blockchain technology, which connects and rewards consumers and growers.
Inflation continues to drive up the cost of living and increase reliance on supermarket systems.
Traditional supermarket chains, and their large-scale supply chains, contribute to higher prices, excessive food waste, and less fresh produce on our tables.
This model limits local producers’ ability to contribute to food supply and is not sustainable.
While supermarkets will always have a role in food distribution, the need for alternative, sustainable solutions is critical.
In the current fresh produce market, traditional supply chains leave growers with only ~15 cents of every dollar spent, while a substantial ~85 cents is consumed by marketing, distribution, and retail intermediaries.
In contrast, Community Grocery Store (CGS) significantly disrupts this model by charging a 5% transaction fee to consumers and a 5% marketing fee to growers for a total of 10%. (The 10% fee includes a 1% cashback fee and a 1% loyalty fee, thats returned to customers).
Community Grocery Store (CGS) receives a total of 8% on every transaction.
This revolutionary structure substantially lowers overall costs, allowing consumers direct access to fresher, locally-grown produce, and ensures that growers retain a much larger share of their profits, promoting sustainability and affordability within local communities
By encouraging the growth of fresh, seasonal, and local produce, and providing a simple-to-use trading platform, we want to help communities access fresh produce and become more self-sufficient, reduce food waste, and lower their grocery expenses.
Through local trade, we strengthen regional economies, help combat inflation and reduce the environmental impact of traditional food supply chains.
Through community collaboration, we are paving the way for a resilient and self-sustaining future, where food systems are fair, transparent, and accessible to all.
Through its decentralized decision-making process and governance approach, CGS adapts and reshapes based on community input, fostering a sense of connection and ownership amongst users.
By integrating AI-driven supply and demand forecasting, CGS optimizes food distribution, minimizes waste, and enhances accessibility to fresh produce. This ensures a resilient, efficient, and environmentally responsible food system that benefits both growers and consumers.
