when? where? who? why?
In view of the current covid and economic crisis situation, we can observe an increase in poverty in France on the one hand and a decrease in purchasing power on the other. On the other hand, there is a gradual decline in small-scale food producers.
It is by combining these two problems that we came up with the idea of creating our service that puts small-scale food producers (who need financing) in touch with consumers (who need to make their purchases profitable).
for whom?
The main target of our project is above all small-scale food producers. Indeed, this will allow them to increase their income thanks to the investments of their customers, but also to make themselves known as they go along, given the growing interest of consumers for fresh and organic products.
On the demand side, our target is eco-friendly people, i.e. people who are sensitive to environmental preservation. But also people who wish to support small-scale food producers, especially in the current context.
Also targeted are lovers of good quality fresh products. Our project serves in particular to facilitate access to the diversity of products offered by small-scale food producers.
what? how?
We had the idea of creating an application in which the user can decide to invest in a part of the harvest of a local producer. So the service we offer is the possibility to buy a plot of land from a peasant / farmer or to invest in equipment necessary for the production of small-scale food producers and, in return, to have their harvest delivered twice a month.
The interest of the user is to support local production, to have a right on a part of the harvest (the producer therefore works the user's land) and to have the fruit of his harvest delivered to his home twice a month. The user can invest a small part of a harvest variety so that he can receive a selection of fresh and good quality products at home instead of having to go shopping for these products.
How ?
Through an application in which the user can say whether he is a farmer or an investor. If he is an investor, he can then choose a or some project(s) in which he wants to invest. On his side, the farmer / food producer indicates the delivery dates, and he can follow the evolution of his harvests.

when? where? who? why?
We have seen a growing trend towards organic consumption, but at the same time there is a lack of information about where these foods can be found.
Combined with this, the current situation of containment across the country has boosted the number of online orders to support food producers.
That's why we came up with the idea of creating a project that links these two issues. Our project is an application that would put consumers in direct contact with small-scale food producers (farmers, small traders...). This allows consumers to pre-order products from the farm closest to them
for whom?
This application is primarily aimed at small-scale food producers. Indeed, this direct contact with consumers would allow them to increase their income because it facilitates purchases, but also to make themselves known. This would then become a source of income in the medium and long term.
On the demand side, the target is the consumer: people who wish to improve their eating habits, or who are particularly sensitive to organic food. But it also concerns, of course, any type of consumer who would just like to eat fresh produce!
what? how?
The service we offer consists of an application on the smartphone that centralizes the farms / small-scale food producers around a certain radius, chosen by the user.
The consumer has to create an account on this platform, then he chooses the department in which he can move. Then, he chooses a food category (meat, vegetables, fruits...). According to the nearest farm, the list of its products is classified by these categories. Thus, the consumer can pre-order the products he wants and then go to the farm to pick them up.
