Notes

- 150 raspberry plants should be enough to supply a family with berries year round
- Sheep aren’t as easily deterred by deer-proofing
- Gnarly Pippins on Instagram is top-grafting really cool things
- Food gleaning: collecting from ignored or feral trees to process, donating to food banks
- Rogue Food Unites: local org took contract from Red Cross, post-wildfire project is processing and distributing food through free farmers markets
- Fires in Chico, California give birth to community organizing
- Lufa Farms doing a large-scale food hub in Quebec
- Some gov subsidies supporting the project
- Massive greenhouses plus scale of network makes it convenient enough to replace current grocery shopping habits
- Comparing small projects to the massively destructive bullshit
- How can food hub projects get in line in front of CAFOs for these government subsidies?
- How does a small, responsible pig farmer compete with a 26 storey pork skyscraper?
- Are there many decentralized models for localization?
- You know Kev, from Twitter?
- Making a difference: What if the difference we’re making will take more than our lifetime? Long-term thinking for the win!
- Professor of Pomology is a real occupation
