The Open Food Network is a free, open source project aimed at supporting diverse food enterprises and easy access to local and sustainable food.They’re not only addressing one of the critical issues of our time (and future), they’re also “…proudly open source and not for profit”, working under P2P protocols. Please support their current crowdfunding campaign. Watch the video, read the campaign description below,  and spread the word about this most inspiring initiative. We hope to see many Open Food Networks around the world; we believe that this campaign is a critical step towards the attainment of that goal.
