Foods From Far Away





Far Foods is an alternative packaging concept for supermarket produce, highlighting the distances that some foods travel from and the resultant carbon dioxide released during the journey. The receipt features a boarding card style tear-off strip.

James Reynold's alternative packaging concept for supermarket produce is definitely a mind tickler. The London-based graphic designer, whose "Far Foods" idea was featured today on swissmiss, suggests grocers take the guesswork out of food-mile calculations with labels that place that information front and center.

Unfortunately this isn't real yet, but hopefully one day it will be.
