Be part of the future: Crowd-sourced farming

June 23, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

You can now be part of a farming cooperative. This really is something to investigate if you’re serious about green issues, being close to your food ideology or are interested in ethical group wisdom.

The National Trust in the UK have teamed up with a farmer caleld Richard Morris to provide real life, actual decision making powers, to a cooperative of some 10,000 online farmers. These farmers make very real choices about the direction the farm takes; whether it’s what to plant or what to breed.

It’s not free to join but it does only cost £30 which is a very low investment and the best most of us will ever see when it comes to having a decision making share in an actual farm.

Are you tempted to join up? Do you think you can make the tough decisions that farmers have to do every day of their lives? Do you think projects like MyFarm might help to change the farms of tomorrow?
