CURRENT PROJECTS


FOOD HUB + S. OSBORNE MARKET

The idea of a food hub that connects food buyers and sellers has been around for some time. Drawing upon the work of a previous feasibility study, the Farm Fresh Food Hub is a new co-op set on improving access to local food.

COMMUNITY-LED VISION

We are concerned about the lack of action on climate change.
​Read our community-led "Energy Descent Action Plan" for a climate-resilient, low-carbon city.

PART OF A GLOBAL NETWORK

"Transition is a movement that has been growing since 2005.  It is about communities stepping up to address the big challenges they face by starting local.  By coming together, they are able to crowd-source solutions. They seek to nurture a caring culture, one focused on supporting each other, both as groups or as wider communities.
​

In practice, they are reclaiming the economy, sparking entrepreneurship, reimagining work, reskilling themselves and weaving webs of connection and support.  It’s an approach that has spread now to over 50 countries, in thousands of groups: in towns, villages, cities, universities and schools."
