I learned a shocking statistic today. Foodstuffs (major supermarket chain) trucks drive the equivalent of 5 times around the planet every week shifting groceries around the South Island 😱
This information comes from Our Food Network, an Ōtepoti organisation focused on healthy and resilient food systems.
Of course if you add in the rest of Aotearoa and the other big supermarket chain it’s even worse.

Our industrial food system is so unsustainable, not to mention lacking resilience. I recall a couple of times when Ōtepoti was shut off from Ōtautahi due to floods, earthquakes etc and supermarkets quickly ran out of basics like bread, because it wasn’t produced locally. And local produce sometimes gets trucked north before being returned here (like our mail). 🤦🏻♀️

I visited the Amazon returns warehouse where everything is discounted
UK supermarket ‘absolutely convinced’ removing self-checkouts is better
There's a plea from Britain's food scene,
To reset trade ties with the EU clean,
They want a smooth deal,
For a meal with appeal,
So they can keep their tables serene.

As the supermarkets gear up for a 'price war' don't be thinking this is about their major competitors.... no a price war between the biggest supermarkets is, of course, intended to mask where they're upping prices but also as a way of further kicking the independent sector by dropping the prices of staple foods & other household regular purchases.
The oligopolists want to further cohere their domination ahead of a likely disruption caused by the Trump tariff shock.
