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.

Grazers "kit" for fido/apitronics

After a recent grazer's conference it was clear that a useful "kit" for a FIDO/Apitronics system would be a system with the following set of sensors/switches

1) electric fence system voltage and remote shutoff (rover)
2) chest/meat freezer data log and alert
3) water level alerts

This covers the basic worry points with an animal grazing operation - are they secure in the fence? do they have water? and is freezer working to protect the thousands of dollars of product already harvested?
