Designed with convenience and sustainability in mind, Community Grocery Store (CGS) transforms the way fresh produce is supplied and purchased. The CGS app fosters collaboration and community connections and provides fresh, locally-sourced produce at low costs.
For consumers, the CGS app offers multiple benefits.
Community Grocery Store (CGS) has the potential to prioritise sustainability and community, and globally shift the way food is grown and accessed.
Community Grocery Store connects consumers directly to local growers. Consumers browse the app to access a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other produce from trusted local suppliers, and either collect it from a local market or have it delivered to your door.
This provides fast access to fresh, locally-grown produce, at lower prices than supermarkets.
CGS makes accessing fresh, affordable produce easy.
Making fruit and vegetables more affordable and easier to access reduces some of the barriers associated with healthy eating.
A diet high in fruit and vegetables can help to protect you from cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
Any fresh produce you don’t use can be re-listed on the app for others to purchase, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Even leftover produce unsuitable for human consumption can be listed for animal feed. This promotes a circular economy and reduces landfill waste.
CGS is built on and leverages blockchain technology. This ensures all buy and sell transactions are recorded on a public ledger, which is always viewable.
This absolute transparency provides consumers with clear visibility over pricing, sourcing, payment processes & fees.
By providing a mechanism for consumers to source their produce locally, CGS potentially reduces trips to the supermarket.
Instead, deliveries can be completed using an electric bike, scooter or even drones!
This (combined with the in-built CGS mapping and route system to ensure direct, efficient delivery) supports CGS’s goal to globally reduce vehicle pollution.
CGS will encourage growers to prioritize sustainable, re-useable packaging materials and, wherever possible, to go without plastic/packaging entirely.
Delivery drivers and consumers collecting produce directly from growers will also be encouraged to use re-usable insulated carry bags to transport their produce across short distances.
This approach helps to reduce the amount of single-use plastics (a key contributor to waste and pollution) used in grocery shopping.
By creating local micro economies and partnering with local delivery teams, CGS seeks to reduce the amount of trips to the supermarket and give consumers back their time. Plus, if consumers also become growers, the need to waste time travelling for fresh produce becomes almost non-existent!
CGS seeks to reduce carbon emissions by minimizing the need for individual car trips to the store, lowering overall vehicle emissions in all neighbourhoods.
Pickups done using electric means of transport dramatically reduce local community carbon production.
The CGS app is designed to make your shopping experience efficient, simple and unique to your needs.
You can create a shopping list and the app will automatically connect you with local suppliers offering those items within a set radius.
You can also keep track of your favorite suppliers and/or revisit suppliers you’ve previously shopped with, and leave / view customer reviews.
The locations of the suppliers within walking/biking distance are mapped to help you plan your trips efficiently.
The app also highlights peak traffic times so you can avoid crowds and save time, making grocery shopping more efficient.
CGS is governed by a community DAO.
This means consumers can guide future development decisions inside the app.
Consumers can link their vote wallet within the app and will be rewarded with incentives for their participation in the DAO voting process.
The CGS app is built on blockchain technology, meaning traceability is core to its foundation.
This provides consumers the ability to verify the freshness of their produce by tracking its journey from grower to table.
Purchasing your produce through the CGS app offers an efficient, flexible and cost-effective alternative way to access fresh fruit and vegetables.
Simply find what you’re looking for in the app and have it delivered to your door when you need it!
Alternatively, you can schedule a time that’s convenient for you to collect your groceries, and use the route and schedule feature to make your trip as efficient as possible.
Accessing fresh produce via the CGS app means you’re no longer limited by potentially restrictive supermarket shopping hours.
CGS offers grocery shopping solutions to suit your schedule.
Co2 reduction With CGS, fresh produce is sourced locally and delivered efficiently. This approach potentially reduces the need for frequent car trips to the grocery store, helping to lowering CO2 emissions.
By supporting community-based trade and minimising the distance food has to travel to reach you, consumers help to reduce “food miles” and contribute to a cleaner environment.
With the CGS app, consumers can compare products from multiple growers and choose the closets, freshest or best value produce, depending on their specific requirements and budgets.
Consumers using the CGS app can arrange for local couriers or third-party delivery partners to deliver the fresh local produce to your door, or you can choose to collect it yourself - it’s up to you to decide which option is more convenient.
