In the intro we discussed this website's aim to outline how communities can, in a sense, reinvent themselves, in particular in regard how they organize and store information. Of course acquiring information is not the true end product rather the information being applied to either productive activities in a grassroots manner, mostly in the realms of growing food and promoting the local health of the community, and at a secondary level in regard to interaction in the given marketplace. In other words there is a perceived split between things like growing food in your own yard, and buying them in a regular market. This split that is being suggested is of course not absolute since there is clearly a gradient in regard to these two categories. For instance homegrown food can be traded with neighbors, food swaps within the community, and even cooperative efforts to get grassroots foods into a local co-op or farmer's market. This division might also be seen as a dividing line that can move both ways. Not only can local grassroots growers eventually move up, if you will, to selling at official markets, but some independent or even perhaps chains can become more friendly t o local production
