Title:

Cultivating the Web: Netroots Action for Grassroots Food

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Leslie Hatfield, Eat Well Guide
Description:
The “organic” nature of social media creates fertile ground for activists, but how can online advocacy move beyond e-actions and Facebook Fan pages, translating to local, on-the-ground actions? This panel will explore various innovative and creative uses of social media and online technology to support the local food movement.
Questions
Answered:
  1. How is social media supporting the local/sustainable food movement?
  2. How can we best use the “world wide web” to support local food producers/affect local policy?
  3. What are the emerging trends in online activism, edible and otherwise?
  4. How can good food advocates' online successes be applied to other issues?
  5. What are some of the most successful food advocacy campaigns that have utilized new media?
  6. How can those in the for-profit sector join in online advocacy efforts?
  7. Who is being left out of the local/sustainable food movement and how can digital tools help to engage them?
  8. How can growers and producers use digital technology to market their goods?
  9. How can we support local food when so many of us are constantly on the move?
  10. How can digital technology support new farmers?
