Erika Block

Erika Block founded Local Orbit to create a more equitable, transparent and sustainable food system. Her online platform provides marketing, sales, logistics and inventory management for food hubs, entrepreneurs, farmers, institutions and community groups working to increase local and regional food distribution. Food buyers get streamlined purchasing from multiple sellers and a direct, traceable supply chain. By providing a scalable and efficient distribution platform, Erika is reducing the cost and environmental impact of getting food from producers to eaters, supporting independent farmers and local economies and making healthy, locally produced food widely available and easy to buy.
