Geo for Good

A session at wherecamp focussed on sourcing local produce, something more than a little useful. Despite the fact we got quite bogged down with the evidence of whether this is actually better for certain people/environment/etc, it still seems as though having a source for where you can get local produce from would be darn useful.

So this got me thinking... A site (or sites) that do some of the following:

• Let people contribute to a store of product source of origin and where they were bought from (ie most "fresh cherry tomatoes from Tesco in York come from either Morocco or Cyprus)
• Let people contribute/view local produce available, possibly tied to seasons (ie "show me all the in-season produce that can be/is produced in a 100mile radius)
• Show people where to buy local produce (with indicators to what "local" means)

Mikel also proposed a great social network for farmers themselves. Not sure how that'd get off the ground world-wide but with online usage in the UK this could be a pretty good focussed network.

Also - Need to see Darwin's Nightmare - pretty dark but sounds good.
