Topics

Nathan Cravens

• Proposal: Befriend Community Supported Agricultures by contacting leading CSA organizations that support CSA community generally, like http://www.localharvest.org/csa/
  • CSAs would be interested in using elements of the GVCS as the tech is more affordable to maintain. Other CSAs may be interested in using the entire set to found an entire village. A global village may want to start a farm and form a CSA, which leads to the next proposal.
• Proposal: Befriend Intentional Communities. Those without farm equipment would be particularly interested as the tools can be built more affordably and cost much less to maintain. I've contacted ic.org and recieved a response. They are interested in having an article published in thier magazine. I've forwarded that message to Marcin to direct to someone interested in writing for an intentional community audience.
