Thats me getting some #pnw awesomeness this weekend #paragliding #cascadia #fossilfuelfree

About 10 years ago the farming community in my area did an experiment. They created a community supported agriculture (CSA) group where they grew grains, (oat, rye, wheat) and a few other things with money contributed to them ahead of time, then transported the products up the lake where we live by sail boat to a distribution centre in the larger town.

There were all kinds of problems but they managed to do it for at least 3 years. The concept folded because of people being unaware of how hard it is to do something like that, the sailors didn't understand transporting food, some of the grain products weren't winnowed and cleaned to the liking of the consumers and many consumers didn't realize what they were getting into needing dry airtight storage and tools like grain grinders to make flour and needing to take the time to sort over grain like that before grinding.

BUT, it was proven that it could work with better planning and management. I think eventually, when the need is greatest, all involved will do it again when expectations are lowered and knowledge is greater. I participated in it and since then have been buying grain and grinding it myself for flour.

Why does this not surprise me?

This forum to deliver on the Paris Climate Accord has run its course. It is riddled with mining and fossil fuel interests. #COP28 #ClimateEmergency #FossilFuelFree

@gretathunberg - I am asking generally, and not just to Greta - If #COP27 is an industry trade show, as the article link says, what is the present and/or potential new and better alternative forum for specific discussion that leads to meaningful change? Curious to learn of some more viable pathways opening. Thanks in advance to all who reply.
