This proposal program is aimed at identifying the requirements to create a sustainable Agrisystem for the South Dallas community. It proposes a model that optimizes the profits as well as quality of the agri products for the community. It also manifests the implementation, monitoring and regulating of the proposed model. It will help improve the urban farming system in terms of efficiency, sustainability and reduce overall costs for the farmers while ensuring high-quality products are delivered to the consumers in a timely and cost-effective manner. The program has ensured to map the existing food system with indicating the metrics of the agri flow process and benchmark with those of existing local South Dallas based food systems, developing the best model of urban farming system. It identifies the cost and production metrics of the agrisystem that needs to be minimized or channelised to the resources that increase the overall output of the system. It also arranges for the urban farmers to identify the products with high demand or high inventory cost that requires high inventory and distribution system provided the cost does not wear a burden on the farmer.
This program is designed to contribute to a greater food security, especially in areas where access to fresh and healthy food is limited and male locally-grown produce more affordable and accessible to a wider range of consumers. It can help reduce the environmental impact of the food supply chain by promoting sustainable farming practices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation. This can contribute to the overall reduction of carbon footprint and a more sustainable food system.
This program has the potential to create jobs and economic opportunities in urban and rural areas by supporting local farming systems, promoting entrepreneurship, and fostering innovation in the agriculture industry.
