What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...
- MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....
- Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
- Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
- Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).
- See LATEST ACTIVITY on GTIA for results of comprehensive scans of Transition activities around the globe.
- New links to Twitter via GTIA -- Twitter via #TransitionTowns. Twitter now displayed on GTIA Latest Activity.

Rose Skora was kind enough to share the slides of her presentation. They are attached to this reply. Just click on the file named "ChangingFaceOfAgriculture2.pdf". (Below the Farmers Markets in America Graphic.)
The Farmers Market Map is something I came across after Rose's presentation which shows where Farmers Markets are available throughout the USA. I thought it was interesting. Click on the map to make it bigger.
Cheers
