The Community Grocery Store (CGS) 'To Market Strategy' outlines how we use innovative app and blockchain technology to empower communities, promote sustainable practices, and reposition local food systems for long-term resilience. This Strategy is built upon nine pillars.

This analysis will guide CGS in refining its positioning and ensuring it remains at the forefront of community-driven food trade.
