Food Solutions New England

Food Solutions New England (FSNE) is a regional food systems learning-action network dedicated to advancing a sustainable New England food system. The FSNE network is organized around four interrelated activities:

A New England Food Vision, a bold vision that calls for our region to build the capacity to produce up to 70% of food that is produced in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner, that promotes health and is accessible by all New Englanders by 2060; New England state food planning initiatives; annual New England food summits and topical workshops; and related analysis, communication and visualization.

The UNH Sustainability Institute serves as the backbone organization for FSNE. Since its inception in 2006, FSNE has advanced its mission by linking a common agenda, shared measurement, continuous communication, and synergestic activities.

Great to see your post - Our farm has started to parch/roast sweet corn and flint corn for corn meal and were thinking about having a local coffee roaster do it, but I think that this would be a great project for the farm hack community. I think if the root washer setup with a steel mesh screen instead of wood slats were combined with the flame weeder setup - including the ignition module that is posted that it would probably be a fairly efficient setup. The pedal power setup is here
