First, I would do some research and report back to see which of the stores are within the proximity of the farms. Some ways that a supermarket chain could incorporate farm$-$to$-$table principles into its operations while still meeting consumer demands are by sourcing products directly from nearby farms themselves, this will help them create a market for the smaller producers who struggle to compete with the larger companies.

Risks are bad weather, climate and problems with crops during rain and equipment failure. These problems could lead to a major decrease in production.

Benefits are the product being shipped locally vs long distance. Locally reduces the time and distance between time its picked, shipped and arrived to the table and the ingredients hold onto the nutrients longer.

In order for a supermarket to implement a farm$-$to$-$table endeavor, they would need data and communication requirements such as accurate and up$-$to$-$date information on the farm's products, which would be availability, quality and pricing.

The main factors to determine and support farm$-$to$-$table principle are product safety, availability, quality and cost because without all of these important factors you can't satisfy your customers by not having good quality product. With availability, you have to have the product delivered on time and keeping cost low by sourcing farm$-$to$-$table locally. Also, these factors together if implemented corrected will increase revenue and profit.
