As the Occupy movement thunders along with no hint of going away anytime soon, there have been some exciting and innovative alternative models emerging for how we relate to one another outside of more typical market economic relations. One of these movements is ‘Feed the Movement’, an informal coalition devoted to donating produce from small, local farms to the Occupy movements throughout New York and New England. Feed the Movement operates on donations to pay farmers for their contributions so that they can support both the Occupy movement and the small-farm economy at the same time. Part of sustaining the Occupy movement is ensuring that occupiers are well-fed with healthy food, particularly as the cold sets in across the country.
I like this idea. Is this happening in other places? It seems like it would be particularly useful in places where fresh produce can be grown year-round!
