Foodtree
Foodtree answers the question: Where is my food from?
Food information is loaded onto the Foodtree web platform, linking producers to the retail locations where consumers can find their foods. Food brand stakeholders easily convey the story of how they produce food and the myriad images, video and and pertinant data that go well beyond traditional labels. Consumers are able to use familiar social web tools to share their love of a great steak as well as the farmer that raised the steer. Foodtree powers supply chain transparency to expose the underpinnings of our food; the path from the field, forest or ocean to table.
