Revision as of 08:11, 22 July 2008
I'll write the content as full paragraphs later. You can help by formatting the headings ;-) And adding categories, links to portals or whatever else needs doing for this page to be a proper member of appropedia (in the public domain). Nah, I'll do it. Thanks anyway. :-)
Please, use the "discussion" tab to add your comments and ideas. I just need some time to write all this done. Thanks for your patience.
Oh, and much thanks to L and V for their ideas, comments and support.

Why
Context
- 6 ways to die
- Hunger and Thirst, directly
- Too hot and Too cold, food gives shade, shelter and fuel
- Disease, food gives nutrition and farmacy, and waste treatment is good for health
- Injury, food gives shelter and more importantly one less reason to fight each other
- Food just grows vs Food systems are ill
- Globalised
- External dependency
- Just In Time = No Stocks
- Economic efficiency = No Redundancy
- Cheap food != Good for you
- Outcome
- Poverty
- Bad health
- Supply risk
- Globalised
- Levels from individual to global
- Individual, household, town (50% FAO?) < 10 km (walk, bike)
- Region (25% FAO?) < 100 km (car, truck)
- World (25% or less FAO?) > 100 km (boats, trains, planes)
Aim
- Food: 2000 cal/person-day
- Water: 15 liters/person-day
- Irrigation: 100 liters/person-day?
Goal = Help
- Assess
- Present situation

- Seeds
- Seedballing, networks, dry, store, select
- Which crops?
- Calories
- Yield
- Simple to grow

- What do people use all over the world, and locally?
- Protection
- From
- Sun, Wind, Pests, Excess water, Animals
- With
- Cover, other plants, chemicals, counterbugs, mulch
- From
- Time
- 3-4 months or more
- Seasonality - related to storage of food and seeds
- Knowledge
- Plants
- Weather
- Work
- People
- Attention
- Bend back
- Work seated
- Tools

- # Hours
- # People
- People
- Climate-Weather
- Non-plant food
- What: eggs, meat (poultry, rabbits, pigs, cows), fish (sea, ponds, ferrocement tanks), fungi, algae
- Nutrients, "housing" & care, process, market
Food system
- Transport = catchment area
- Walk <10 km (individual, town) - Bike < 30 km (individual, town) - Motor > 30 km (region, world)
- Store
- Cold - Pot in pot, deep sea water, in ground - Conserve - Solar dryer, Salt
- Cook
- Solar cooker, cushions, stoves
- Economy
- Price of food - Workers wages - Price of inputs - Taxes and subsidies - Local currencies - Buy local means Grow local - Fab Lab makes coins? - Futures markets = measure risk - Business oportunities - Grow, Food industries, Sell - Support with know-how, make tools, share tools - TTT = training, tools, trade
- Regulations
- Land - Food industries - Public health - Machinery
- Mindset
- Different people's points of view - I'm a farmer, I grow my food, We grow our food - Changes here are powerful (Donna Meadows) - Changes here may be beyond your sphere of influence
How
Global
- DNA of the project
- Define - Refine - Share
- Aim = Usable Content
- Text - 200 pages - Video - 10 hours - TV - 200 hours, see Vinay's project
- License
- Template: ask for open license: what, Why, What, How - If not, find open alternatives - If not, re-invent, re-photo, re-video
- Ecosystem of cooperation (**)
- Create content - Compile - Translate - dotsub.com - traduwiki.org - etc - Use - All benefit - like linux developers - linux user groups = local geeks - linux end users
Local
- Motivation = Energy for Change
- Want to - Mindset shift - Have to - Urgent need
- Grow
- Teach
- Business
- Science
- People
- Available time - Skills
- Ecosystem of facilitation (**)
- Accelerate - Leverage - Business model(s) - Open franchising - Transition - From fossil-based fertilisers and pesticides - From global to local
