As the COVID-19 crisis laid bare the vulnerabilities of the corporate food system, supermarket supply chains buckled while small-scale producers stretched already scarce resources even further in the face of soaring demand. Calls for practical support to improve logistics, maximise shared assets and mobilise key stakeholders are growing against the backdrop of a massive economic recession. Combining deep experience in relevant sectors of the food, social enterprise and finance spaces, at Sustenance we recognise that local food is so much more than a commodity - it's a relationship. Sustenance's proposal is designed to take the important work of platforms such as Open Food Network a stage further: with a business model as a design, delivery, service and support partner for local food networks, we will become participants in networks in a variety of contexts, positioned in the important place between solution-led and platform-led innovations. The R&D proposed in this bid will focus on the well-established Food Plymouth network and its potential market, surveying stakeholders, co-creating and trialling model options and supporting tools for local food webs in and around the city, able to be offered out and adapted in other locations in future.

随着新冠肺炎危机暴露出企业食品体系的脆弱性，超市供应链崩溃，而小规模生产商在需求飙升的情况下，进一步扩大了本已稀缺的资源。在大规模经济衰退的背景下，要求提供切实支持以改善物流、最大化共享资产和动员关键利益相关者的呼声越来越高。结合在食品、社会企业和金融领域相关领域的丰富经验，我们认识到当地食品远远不止是一种商品--它是一种关系。Sustendance的提议旨在将Open Food Network等平台的重要工作更上一层楼：通过作为本地美食网络的设计、交付、服务和支持合作伙伴的商业模式，我们将成为各种背景下的网络参与者，定位于解决方案引领的创新和平台引领的创新之间的重要位置。此次投标中提出的研发将专注于完善的Food Plymuss网络及其潜在市场，调查利益相关者，共同创建和试验城市内外当地食物网的模式选择和支持工具，能够在未来在其他地点提供和改编。
