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
