This YouTube video provides an overview of the site’s functionality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6DKQab0DAU smallfarmlink.org is a web platform with the aim of promoting small-scale organic/regenerative farmers and grassroot organizations and enabling them to showcase their work and connect with the community more effectively. Regional Pages Farmers can create a profile (similar to LinkedIn), and share their information, growing methods, products and points of sale. Organizations can detail their mission and work in their profile. Farms and organizations can engage the community by advertising events, job/volunteer listings, buy/sell items, and knowledge sharing (similar to Craigslist). General public has access to a directory of regional farms and organizations and can find farmers markets, and find farms based on their produce, market type and CSA delivery. People also have access to job/volunteer and event listings. The regional map-based page provide visual understanding of the resources and connections within the region. So far, the functionality for the BC Southwest agricultural region is completed. Additional functionalities such as forums, messaging, and announcements to further facilitate connections will be hopefully implemented in the near future. Map Maker The ‘Map Maker’ enables creation of maps by combining data layers and map drawings. It also allows for distance and area…

Energy transition is a key ingredient in moving toward a more sustainable way of living. In BC, we need to radically reduce our energy usage and move away from fossil fuels toward a clean energy economy based on technologies like solar power.
