An eBay for food near you? Craigslist for veggies?
This can work, if people participate.

Oh, here’s The Bountiful Sprout, which some friends of mine have been working on for years, and is a going concern.

There are set pick-up times and places, and the farmers and eaters coordinate for money and food to show up for the rendezvous. There are other ways to do this, and deliveries can be arranged.

There are tons of existing, often great, initiatives, some of which work well, some don’t. There are also still enormous amounts of farmers and potential clients who are not connecting to each other. What OFN is trying to do is provide a blueprint that can connect local projects globally, and thus make the success rate higher, for instance by preventing different people from making and repeating the same mistakes in different locations. Plus, of course, encourage more people in more locations to set up new projects, which they now won’t have to start from absolute zero.
