It involves the use of digital platforms like websites, online marketplaces, and social media to market and sell farm products, manage orders, and coordinate logistics, providing a direct sales channel that often eliminates the need for traditional intermediaries like wholesalers and retailers. This model helps farmers reach a wider audience, increase profitability, and offer customers access to fresher, often locally sourced, food products.
