Description:
Open Food Network (OFN) is an open-source platform founded in Australia in 2012 and active in 20 countries, supporting around 7,000 producers. In Italy, where small producers face fragmented supply chains, limited digital infrastructure and regulatory complexity, OFN acts as a “digital ally”: producers can sell online, manage stock, create e-commerce stores and run virtual farmers’ markets. Run through a community-driven governance model, it also offers training, consultancy and incubation programmes.
