There are two main options to avoid having to deliver food from (for example) Washington State to Florida.
One is to change consumer behavior to focus much more on in-season products that can be grown locally. This is a difficult social challenge.
The other is to change plant behavior so that they become products that are always in season and can be grown everywhere. This is a difficult technical challenge, but things like indoor vertical farming can potentially solve that. The problem described in this article is that it does not (yet?) work for effective farming, but making it possible to grow the appropriate berries or fruit locally throughout the year would fix the logistics chain by eliminating most of it.
