Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Vancouver (and global) Backyard Sharing Program is here!

I was browsing the net the other day, and found a global site that connects people with extra land, or land that they are willing to share, to people who don't have land and want to grow food.

It uses google map technology to display where "land seekers" are and "land lenders" so to speak.

I highly recommend it!

Enjoy.

The video clip is bases in the US, although the Backyard Sharing website has gone global.

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
