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.

Open source farm skill list- a start

Here is an attempt to list a few of the skill sections we might want as we document some of the skills that may be needed to build open source tools
(this will be a very partial list I am sure - and I am sure that the categories will need to be worked out more carefully)
Ideally we can match these up with on-line tutorials already out there and with local vocational programs etc.

Computer Skills

How to use this site
How to use design software
opensource programming documentation and use of repositories etc.

Yup - part of GreenStart's mission is to make its work open source - and we have a focus on documentation this year. I think a Farm Hack event would be a good idea - probably mid-summer. There are a number of tools coming along that would be fun to work on- including a new roller crimper inspired by the ADA bio folks that I am particularly excited about.
