Fresh food. Local people. Better together.
Open-Source Food Technology
Your Local Food Tribe uses open-source food technology as part of the infrastructure supporting our neighbourhood Food Tribe model.
Technology that supports the people doing the work
Our technology helps support online ordering, Food Tribe operations and the systems Local Food Champions need to coordinate their local communities.
Using shared open-source infrastructure means we do not have to build every part of the food-commerce technology from scratch.
Part of our social mission
Shared infrastructure
Open-source technology can be shared, adapted and improved rather than every community food project needing to create its own platform.
More focus on people
Shared infrastructure can allow more attention and resources to be directed toward people, training, local operations and community.
Supporting local operations
Technology supports the practical work behind Food Tribes while Local Food Champions remain the people coordinating the neighbourhood service.
Powered in part by Open Food Network technology
Your Local Food Tribe uses Open Food Network technology for parts of its online food ordering and operational system.
Open Food Network is open-source software designed for food enterprises and community food networks.
Your Local Food Tribe remains independently owned and operated. Using open-source technology does not mean the business itself is community-owned or governed by the software project.
