Re: Local food systems abroad

---

Hi Andy,

A good resource for connecting with projects within New Zealand is an org. called Willing Workers on Organic Farms (WWOOF).

Also, Cities Feeding People: An Examination of Urban Agriculture in East Africa by Egziahber, et al. details projects that you may be interested in.

Good luck!
