Made in Transit is a supply chain concept working towards the development of packaging that operates on the paradigm of enabling growth rather than preserving freshness, a shift from 'best before' to 'ready by' for fresh perishable goods.
The aim is to enable growth throughout the entire supply chain so that the consumer harvests the product when he's ready to consume it, resulting in a higher quality fresh good.
The concept is applied to a new system of mushroom cultivation embedded within the distribution network, shifting the role of distribution from slowing down the process of post-harvest deterioration to enabling growth and involving the consumer for harvest at the point of consumption.

Avoid vaccines, they contain aluminum, mercury, aspartame/formaldehyde, squalene, mutagens etc that cause diseases like lupus, arthritus, Gulf War Syndrome, Sheeple syndrome, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, allergies, asthma, cancer, ADD/autism etc. Still the WHO is pushing the genocidal h1n1 shot when they should promote vitamin D3, garlic, silver products etc to oust za vampires & verevolves!
Congratulations Agatha, very nice concept! By the way I would´ve expect only lamps and hi-tech stuff from Eindhoven. Cars are finished in their way from Japan to USA, shrimps are packaged in their way from catching to the port... but veggies from the farm to home and still growing is very innnovative.Thks.
Agata, your concept is really revolutionary! It goes very much in tune with a recent trend where consumers want to be part of the product experience from the begining and not just at the end. That's why some join online groups where they can download patterns and learn how to sow their own jackets! We're all dying to go back to basics! Can your concept be applied to other products and not just food?
The guy is shopping, picks up mushrooms with a 'ready by' instead of 'best before' expiry date, and then we go back in time to see how the mushrooms are made and find out that the chain starts in the packaging factory and the mushrooms are grown in their package on the way to the supermarket. Hope that clarifies it.
I think it's a wonderful concept that should actually be used in food stores. It makes perfect sense, and I remember growing seeds in a ziplock bag with a moist paper towel in the fridge. I always wondered if I left the seeds in long enough if my carrots would grow.
Well, with packaging like that, not only would it grow, but it'd be the freshest you can find, and probably the safest. And maybe there'd be less chemicals involved in preserving the food.

Nice concept. I wonder in which sort of ground the mushrooms are planted. How to avoid mould? This is really an innovative concept.

Is this idea being used by any company yet? Very nice by the way.
Hope that clarifies it.
