Another trend I have seen cropping up is the use of chemical preservatives to elongate the shelf life of crops, for instance soaking vegetables in chlorine to extend their life by a day or two especially if they are being transported over long distance or the use of chambers with low oxygen to slow down a fruits ripening process.
Technology can help reduce some of these issues, a farmer can only harvest when there is need from a customer, and a customer can get directly from a farm whatever they need, when they need it.
