I went to a food swap the other day. The idea is, you make a bunch of food, and you package it somehow. You go to the swap and set up your table, you look at/sample everybody's food, and you write your name on their paper if you want to trade. There is a small movement for this and it's growing. It's really back to an old-fashioned kinds of thing. Local, homemade, DIY, whatever. Farmer's markets are also becoming increasingly popular in certain areas.
This could be a new kind of store. I'm not sure how I would feel about that. Right now it's always temporary locations. There's good and bad aspects. But it's one possibility.
For me it's a case of turning against mass production and disposable overpackaging and chemicals in our food that we don't know what they are. As well as disrespect for animals and plants and the environment.
One thing I would like to see is a delivery network. Particularly in urban areas where there is public transportation. I would like to go to a store, pick out what I want, and have it all packed up and delivered to my house, say 3-8 hours from now. Or 1-5 hours from now if it is almost time for the next delivery to go out. This would make shopping very convenient for me, particularly where I need large, bulky, or many items. More people could use the public trans instead of "needing" their car or truck. Congestion would go down and streets would need less repair.
