@dazinism
great! I'm not in the UK, nor have I resources for the moment, but just wanting to share with you this plattform, as it might be usefull to you:
https://openfoodnetwork.org/

Also:
I guess you know #olio. That foodsharing plattform. Though they are until know only focused on rescuing food, but engaging together with them to move towards growing food could have a large impact, as it would impact all their members/users.

@paulfree14 @dazinism Hey! Sounds good, I'm not in the UK at the minute, but I was involved in the Edinburgh scene a couple years back: The Newleaf is a workers coop, Whitmuir is a nearby organic farm and there are active Foodsharing and Food Not Bombs initiatives... you've got allies there.

Have you hearding of Farmhack by the way? http://farmhack.org/tools perhaps of interest.

What does it mean for you to make a Commons out of interest?

@douginamug

Working with others I presented a biochar making rocket stove
http://www.appropedia.org/Forest_biochar_rocket_stove
and launched SoilHack http://farmhack.org/wiki/soilhack-wiki
at the first UK Farm Hack

By #commons I'm thinking being involved in the governance/stewardship of, (and if you chose activities on) a bit/bits of land growing trees & food focused on growing produce for our own use. Selling or otherwise distributing surplus. @paulfree14

@dazinism Oh cool! #farmHack is awesome, thanks for contributing.

I'm interested in the idea. Have you read 'Governing the Commons'? Ostrom beautifully describes how several communities ingeniously devised bespoke and self-reinforcing systems for woodland commons.

I've joined that Loomio thread. I'll be back in the UK in July/early August. Perhaps we can meet?

@wu_lee lol typing something in CT UK right now
