a sort of 'Crowd research' ...... on how Local Food may lessen the impact of change and how communities may help themselves



Your help is needed

We need some help formulating some research on Climate Change. This is a social experiment - a sort of 'Crowd research'


If you may have a few minutes to spare we ask anyone with interests in research .... or anything.... to spend a few focussed minutes looking into published articles on how Local Food may lessen the impact of change and how communities may help themselves.

We welcome your input into this essential subject.
we don't ask for a lot of help at Communigrow but here's a way to boost our project from the comfort of your own home.

You do not need to be a researcher to do this! In fact we would prefer to hear back from anyone with interests, concerns, in the ways Climate Change may impact you and us all
In five minutes you could really help us, the Communigrow project, to boost our plans and message
We welcome all research, whether positive to the efforts local food initiatives may have on lessening impact OR negative too - we'd like to know opposing 'sceptical' thoughts and evidence it may not work and we are wasting our time on this focus
any time and effort is valued, younger, older, anyone! You do not need to be an expert researcher or even a project manager to do this......Instructions:
Take your fab internet connection (my own is rubbish, that's why I am asking!)
pick-up your tablet or laptop, computer or even mobile phone
Internet search (I use something like 'DogPile' as it is broader than Google though there are specialist academic research 'search engines').
Place a phrase like "local food climate change" or anything you like and see what comes up
copy and paste into an email
make a few comments on what you have found and YOUR own opinions on it, this is vital.
Please include any 'URL' in with what you found - it is vital for us to be able to refer to it.
if you enjoy doing this for the project please feel free to do the same with any subject we work with, learning, teaching, sharing, land based experiences, food, farming, conservation, local fair trade, organics, biodynamics, permaculture, natural agriculture, volunteering, social enterprise, anything related.
Send this and we'll try to work through it all. If you can help with this please get in touch too.research@communigrow.org

Many thanks in advance
