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.

Hello everyone.

Watching the sUAS Expo in San Francisco really got me thinking... we are at the beginning of a HUGE trend.

Hi Sam - there are several that have been experimented in within the community but a tool wiki has yet to be created to document them. Your post is a good reminder to get it done! I have the expeller screws which I have been hoping to scan as a 3D model for folks to share and study, but i have not done it yet. The most common around here is are the small Anyang (AGICO) Chinese based presses and the German kernkraft. I have most of my experience with both the 1 ton/day and 6 ton per day chinese models pressing sunflower and canola - the models I have worked with came from http://www.ayimpex.com/Oil-Milling-Machinery/6YL-Series-Oil-Press.html . The Chinese ones are more of a hack because, although they work well, are really much nicer if they are disassembled, sand blasted, repainted and repowered for 220 or US three phase - which is worth doing when they start out at 1/4 or less of the price of the others. I think i got my first one for less than $1000 delivered to the US. You can see a nice comparison of European models in a review done by UVM of small scale presses. here: http://www.extension.org/sites/default/files/2014%20-%20Callahan%20et%20...

Happy to answer questions, and help with documentation!
