They want to transform the food system, and they believe the next step towards this vision is to create a working\u00a0local food hub for the regional food economy, that is owned by the community. \u201cWe exist to create fair and prosperous regional and urban food economies because we believe that changing the way we source and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world\u2019s most pressing social and ecological problems.\u201d <br \/>Together with over 500 of their local community, customers, farmers and supporters, they\u00a0 raised over $2 million in an equity crowdfunding campaign in late 2018 to purchase the warehouse they rented for over 12 years. This led to Australia&#8217;s first community-owned local food hub, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodconnectshed.com.au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Food Connect Shed<\/a>, providing the infrastructure to\u00a0create a stable market for\u00a0 farmers, <em><strong>completely divorced from market forces<\/strong><\/em>, and to create a <em><strong>home to many ethical food entrepreneurs<\/strong><\/em>. The founder Rob is now well ensconced in his new role as Shed Director, and you&#8217;ll often find him giving group tours of all the tenancies and exciting them with the grand vision!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where it is:<\/strong>Brisbane \/ Australia<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it is relevant:<\/strong> They support local farmers, engage with an interested food community in the cities, work on products and change the delivery mechanisms. Over the years, the community was grown, new (high quality and pricy) products emerged. In addition, the video above gives a good first explanation about food chain mechanisms and global food challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>URL:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/foodconnect.com.au\/\">https:\/\/foodconnect.com.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"scoped_notify_notify_others":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[5795],"tags":[5800,5854,5851,5848,5841,5840,5850,5849,5847],"class_list":["post-165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cases","tag-circular-economy","tag-community","tag-digitisation","tag-education","tag-farmers","tag-food-connect","tag-prosumer","tag-social-involvement","tag-urban-change"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions\/182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/fcf2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
