Ultimately, a network of interconnected logistical food hubs will guarantee better efficiency of logistical flows (goods, information and money). Thus, local food supply chains are well structured and financially viable. This contributes to making healthy food from local agriculture accessible to people experiencing food insecurity in Montreal.
The project aims to demonstrate that a logistical food hub can be managed collectively and meet some of the common technical needs of several businesses in agricultural production while fulfilling the vision.
A logistical food hub ensures, among other things, the aggregation and distribution of local foodstuffs. It strengthens the competitiveness of the local agri-food sector to better serve all the actors in the food value chain, from production to consumption.
Logistic optimization
The objective of a hub is to better serve all stakeholders in the supply cycle, from the farm to the consumer's plate. These are collaborative projects with innovative business models that focus on the positive economic, social and environmental impacts of their activities.
On Thursday, September 26, the webinar “4 models of short circuit institutional supply chains” was held. Emilie Boivin-Deroy, supported by the Local and Integrated Food System in Montreal (SALIM) team, presented the results of her research on four different institutional supply models in proximity circuits as part of the week Les Institutions mangent local!
This spring, the Collectif Récolte focused its efforts on all the projects of the Local and Integrated Food System in Montreal, and more specifically on two pilot projects of the West Island Food Logistics Pole (PLAODI). The first involves testing out a collective marketing scheme, which aims to provide institutions with food produced by farms
Récolte Collective presents a first report on the shared delivery vehicle pilot project in the West Island of Montreal.
