Small #farmers in Europe often lack access to the resources and technology needed to improve their efficiency and productivity, and they may struggle to connect with consumers who are increasingly interested in locally-sourced and sustainably-produced food - e.g. "from garden to the table" model.

However, the rise of digital platforms and #sharedmobility options is helping to transform the landscape for small #farmers. By leveraging these technologies, small #farmers can improve their access to markets, reduce their transportation costs, and collaborate with other stakeholders to create more sustainable local food systems and even to create a sharing platform of tools, instruments, season staff and other.

In Europe, there are over 10 million small farms, accounting for 80% of all farms in the region. These #farmers produce a wide range of goods, including fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and meat. However, many small #farmers struggle to access markets beyond their local communities, and they may face challenges in transporting their goods to these markets.

#Shared #emobility options, such as e-bikes and e-scooters, offer a promising solution to this problem. By using these modes of transportation, #farmers can reduce their transportation costs and improve their access to local and regional markets. Additionally, digital platforms provide #farmers with the ability to connect with consumers and other stakeholders, as well as access to resources such as market data and best practices for sustainable agriculture.

These platforms can also facilitate direct communication between #farmers and consumers, allowing them to build relationships and increase trust in the food system.

Overall, digital platforms offer small #farmers in Europe a powerful tool for connecting with local communities, accessing resources and information, and building sustainable local food business with aditional business model. By leveraging these platforms and collaborating with local communities, small #farmers can overcome the challenges they face and achieve greater success in the global marketplace.

Collaborative communities are critical to the success of small #farmers in Europe. By working together, #farmers can share transportation costs, pool their resources, and create more #sustainable #local food systems. For example, in the Netherlands, a collaborative community has developed a shared distribution model for locally-grown produce, allowing #farmers to reduce their #transportation costs and improve their #access to markets.

In conclusion, the #digitaltransformation of small #farmers in Europe and the adoption of #shared #emobility options offer a win-win solution for both #farmers and consumers. By using these technologies, small #farmers can improve their access to markets, reduce their transportation costs, and collaborate with other local stakeholders to create more sustainable local food systems, social impact and ecoonomic growth in region. With over 10 million small farms in Europe, the potential for growth is significant if these #farmers can leverage digital platforms and collaborate with #localcommunities .
