Cultivating Commerce


The North Coast Resource Conservation & Development Council's new initiative, Cultivating Commerce, is set to roll out this summer.  This initiative builds on their mission to encourage entrepreneurship through sustainable use of agricultural and natural resources.  This summer marks the kick-off of the new website  for this initiative: cultivatingcommerce.org,  and they are currently in the planning stages .  

They want input regarding the topics you would find most useful to be included in the discussion areas in a virtual entrepreneurial campus. Please send  your comments (or questions) to ncrcandd@sonic.net

The next few years  they plan to work in the following areas:
·      funding development of demonstration businesses with open books as a goal
·      developing partnerships to achieve our goals
·      focusing on the following four areas for development:
     1. agri-tourism
     2. beekeeping/pollinator supply
     3. support local food distribution/development, cooperative food gardens
     4. biochar or other product from biomass energy development
