Our pilots
We’re preparing a workplace pilot in Sweden and exploring opportunities in Italy. Each pilot brings people together to buy from local producers and collect from a shared pickup point.
We’ll share dates and details as each pilot takes shape.
Sweden · In preparation
We’re preparing a pilot at Volvo Cars in Gothenburg, starting with local food and pickup at work. Selected personal care and household products can follow once suppliers, handling and pickup arrangements are in place. We’ll share dates and offers once agreed.
Italy · Exploring opportunities
In Italy, we’re exploring future pilot opportunities with local communities and institutions, including in Emilia-Romagna. Locations, participants and timing are still to be agreed.
The first food orders will test every step from request or offer to pickup. We’ll prepare Care and Home alongside them, adding selected products once suppliers, handling and pickup arrangements are in place. The app and way of ordering stay the same.
See the next stepsResearch & evaluation
We’re working with the research institute RISE to decide what to measure and how to evaluate the pilots. We’re also exploring funding opportunities together.
We want to understand who takes part, the value for producers, and the effects on food waste and transport. The pilots will help us assess how this approach could make local food more accessible and local food networks more efficient and resilient.
Measures and methods are still being developed. Any additional research activities or data sharing will be agreed separately. The initial focus is food; any research on Care or Home products would need a separate agreement.

Grow or make food, bring a group together, or offer a pickup point. Tell us where you are and what you have in mind.
