Companies including FreshBox Farms and Meejee are trying to improve their last-mile delivery sustainability. Learn their strategies.
As with other farms that deliver locally, FreshBox Farms' produce travels a relatively short distance -- in this case, about 30 miles from Millis to Boston. This business model produces fewer last-mile emissions than shipping vegetables across the country. FreshBox Farms' delivery system could also increase customer satisfaction because the produce will stay fresh longer. Crop One is also considering using electric delivery vehicles. This would further reduce the company's carbon footprint in its last-mile logistics.
