Neil Whitehead, founder and director of Seed Pantry, which specialises in urban and small-space gardening, has found that running an online-only business can help broaden his customer base.
The "Amazon pantry" offers endless opportunities for culinary exploration, allowing urban chefs to draw attention to a part of the world that many people may never get to visit while at the same time improving livelihoods and preserving traditions among the people who know it best.
That's why they were called 'emergency pantries,' and then there were soup kitchens in the major urban areas.
The volunteer organization provides a food pantry and a soup kitchen, companionship for those with AIDS and for elderly people, and teaches conflict resolution to urban children.
With Amazon Prime, customers can take free 2-day delivery, fill pantry boxes, shop for groceries through Prime Now (including Whole Foods) or Amazon Fresh shop cashier-less convenience stores in select urban markets, and enjoy a host of other perks.
