The Journey of Food in a Platformised World
The journey that food takes before reaching our homes is no longer simply a supply chain; it is an algorithmically mediated process. This page talks about the different stages of food circulation. These are production, logistics, platform visibility, purchase, and waste. It also shows how each stage is affected by data infrastructures.
Users are encouraged to explore how platforms select which information to reveal, the influence of ratings and recommendations on visibility, and how promotional algorithms encourage overconsumption. Thus, the food journey becomes a site of negotiation between public interest and platform incentives.
