What is localgro all about?

With the industrialization of food production, our food is now grown and processed in fewer and fewer locations, meaning it has to travel much further to reach the average consumer’s refrigerator. In the U.S., it is not uncommon for the average grocery store produce section to have traveled nearly 1,500 miles between the farm where it was grown and your dinner table.

However, these days it is becoming increasingly important to know where our food is from and how it was grown or prepared. In both a bearish or bullish economy, knowing more about our food and being able to select and source the best foods possible is paramount. We are seeing a trend that is not rooted in fads, but is quickly becoming a culinary revolution.

Localgro is here to encourage the buying of foods and services that are produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. It is not hard to buy locally, it just takes a great resource like Localgro to help...enjoy.

Farmsphere Maps & Geopositioning

banner geo

The use of maps has always been a feature of importance for the ag sector. In the past, watching from above was vital for the feudal lords to have an overview of their lands and for this reason they built their homes atop the hills. This was probably also significant before that.
