We are passionate about making dynamic food procurement happen. EM is the technology platform proven to transform conventional procurement approaches by enabling SME inclusive food procurement, fulfilment, consolidation and delivery along short, transparent, supply chains. By enabling the public and private sector to procure food direct from SME primary producers and secondary suppliers, caterers can build back better and reduce costs. In 2015, Bath and North East Somerset Council appointed EM as a technology and management agent to oversee the procurement, fulfilment and delivery of regional produce for 60 schools across the region. Improved choice, quality, value and sustainability performance in the public sector catering environment resulted. em has subsequently won multiple awards as well as being named 'Food Tech Pioneers' by The Guardian, Green Business of the Year by Bath and North East Somerset Council and a finalist in the BBC's Food & Farming Awards. The last 40 years of ‘mass food supply chains’ has come at a staggering cost to human health, animal welfare, biodiversity, water and soil health. Our current food system has become one of the heaviest contributors to climate change. The case for food system change in the 2020s is clear. We must act to; 1. Halt the climate & biodiversity crisis 2. Address food insecurity in all forms 3. Enable regional economic recovery
