About the Client

Kevin Speina, PhD in Chemistry with a specialization in Green Chemistry, developed his idea to tackle food waste as part of a research project. Realizing its potential as a practical solution, he decided to convert this concept into a viable platform. Kevin approached NewAgeSysIT to create a practical and scalable e-commerce platform that connects farmers directly with consumers, enabling farmers to sell their products directly to consumers.

The Platform Modules

Foogly, the Farm-to-Consumer E-commerce Platform is designed to make the process of buying and selling surplus farm produce seamless and efficient. It categorizes items into three main types, each addressing a specific aspect of farm to table.

01 Produce Items

Discounted Fresh Produce

Farmers can list their surplus fruits, vegetables, and other produce items. This allows consumers to purchase fresh, high-quality produce directly from the farm. This Farm-to-Consumer E-commerce Platform makes it easy for farmers to upload their surplus inventory, set prices, and manage orders. Consumers benefit from access to affordable, fresh produce that might not meet the aesthetic standards of traditional retail but is still perfectly good for consumption.

02 Upcycling Products

Fertilizer and Compost

This module features the upcycling of food waste into valuable products such as fertilizer and compost. Farmers can list by-products and waste materials that can be used to produce nutrient-rich fertilizer. This not only reduces the amount of food waste but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices by recycling nutrients back into the soil.

03 Pet Food Items

Organic Pet Food

The Farm-to-Consumer E-commerce Platform enables farmers to list a variety of organic pet food products made from the surplus produce. This not only provides a market for surplus fruits and vegetables but also ensures that pets receive nutritious, high-quality food.

Each feature  maximizes the value of surplus produce, contributing to a more sustainable food system. The app’s intuitive interface allows farmers to easily categorize and list their products, and consumers to browse and purchase with ease.
