2014 Community Building Projects:

 

F5://Food (Refresh) - 48 Hour New Media and Food Idea Lab

The HarvestHand and Refresh Annapolis Valley communities launched F5://Food (Refresh Food) to provide a space for people to develop software based solutions that strengthen regional food systems. 17 ideas were pitched and 5 working teams formed. 75 farmers, foodies, designers, software developers, and marketers worked on projects for 48 hours before presenting to a panel of community judges. The winning team took home $1000 to put towards advancing their idea. Read more.
 

International CSA farm and network map

As it is easy to connect using new media tools tools, wouldn't it be great if we knew where all the Community Shared/Support Agriculture farms and networks around the world are? Imagine the possibilities for sharing and collaboration. We launched this map in collaboration with URGENCI (International CSA Map) and a number of Canadian CSA's.

NS 50% Local Food Club

We worked together with a team of volunteers to rally over 2,320 Nova Scotian’s to join the 50% Local Food Club. Members of this club  pledged to eat at least 50% local food for the entire month of September 2014!
