The goal of this project is to develop a mobile application for FRED, a web-based marketplace that connects farmers and producers of culturally preferred foods with local consumers. The app aims to facilitate transactions within a 75km radius, supporting Canada's zero-emission goals by promoting local sourcing and reducing transportation emissions. The project will involve translating the existing web functionalities into a mobile-friendly interface, ensuring seamless user experience and accessibility. Key features will include user registration, product browsing, order placement, and secure payment processing. The app will also provide location-based services to ensure compliance with the 75km distance requirement. This project offers learners the opportunity to apply their knowledge of mobile app development, user interface design, and integration with existing web services.

The deliverables for this project include a fully functional mobile application compatible with both iOS and Android platforms. The app should feature a user-friendly interface, secure login, and payment systems, and integrate seamlessly with the existing FRED web application. Additionally, a comprehensive user manual and a brief presentation demonstrating the app's features and functionalities will be provided.
