  1. #Massachusetts - #GrowFood #Northampton raises more than $1M for #AtRrisk communities

    NORTHAMPTON — "#GrowFoodNorthampton is growing.

    "The local food and #farming justice group has raised over $1 million for an effort to increase support for vulnerable community members, it said in a statement.

    "The money will go toward providing more #FreshFoods to families experiencing hunger, will establish #CommunityGardens at #LowIncome housing sites, will support #LocalFarms and #gardeners, and will go toward implementation of #ClimateResilience measures.

    " 'All of these efforts are critical right now due to drastic #FederalCuts to local food and farming programs, the ongoing #ClimateCrisis, and ever-growing #inequities in the local food system and beyond,' the statement said.

    "The fundraising effort began late last year. There was an 'outpouring of support,' and the financial goal was met ahead of schedule, the group said.

    "The organization will still accept donations through the rest of the summer, and supporters can opt to add their names to a campaign contributors list, which will be installed at the Community Garden in Florence.

    "The organization also said it would accept non-monetary support from the community.

    " 'Community members are invited to attend summer events, share the campaign with friends and family, and volunteer their time,' the statement said."

  6. In recent years the shine of #DesignThinking has been wearing off. Critics have argued that its #ShortTerm focus on novel and naive #ideas has resulted in unrealistic and ungrounded recommendations. It has reinforced existing #inequities rather than challenging them. Years in #InnovationTheater — checking a series of boxes without implementing meaningful shifts—had become endemic in corporate settings.
