What do you know about CityCamp NC 2014 Raleigh Food Corridor?
Raleigh Food Corridor
done a lot of talking but know need to do something
community-based food corridor - email the idea, no way for people to really share
how to engage on any level
interactive map to pin ideas, what's already happening, resources that are available
wiki of best practices for urban farming
heat map of opportunities to get involved - who is already doing what
Datajam winner:
link farmers, food pantries with those who need food
upload that food is available, those in need would get a text
opportunities like vacant lots - what are resources needed, what policies do you need to follow to have chickens in your backyard - what is the process
want the tool to be action-based
already working with Activate Good - volunteer coordination
MindBodyConnect app as an aggregate
2 projects anchoring the corridor are Raleigh City Farm and Interfaith Food Shuttle
why digital tool rather than signage or community engagement?
push or a pull focus?
Next Door as a community organizing tool, community news aggregate
