The idea of starting some sort of network that connects food producers
and consumers is interesting and could be worth pursuing.
This very issue is at the heart of solutions I ponder regarding our
nation's financial crisis, lack of jobs, inflation, loss of culture in
the public's eye. In simple terms, IF you are not a college grad with a
specialization or are automatically destined for a professional career
or, bet yet, haven't decided whether you want to go to college, or to
community college thenthere are all the thousands of alternative
glorious options: careers in the following.... natural agriculture (all
categories), alternative/renewable energy and or architecture,
permaculture, alternative healthcare. Those following this path would
make good use of a system that networks all of them for the purpose of
marketing their skills and or products, learning those skills from
others, sharing those skills with others and direct sales to the public
through the resources offered by that network which would accomodate
consumers as well as producers, skilled professionals, tradesmen and
skilled practitioners; it would contain its own ongoing knowledgebase.
This could be a seriously great system and could be put together for
almost nothing with off-the-shelf components, software and hardware with
fundraising through those many sites on the Web that offer those services.
