Pete Russell’s video “Hacking the supply chain” was entertaining as well as enlightening. He shows that how the supply chain can be tweaked to help the local producers get more profit of the goods they are producing. His description of the model is beneficial to the producers as well as the customers. The growers here are getting about half of the retail value and the customer does also not have to pay more money.
