Agricultural Value - promoting jobs & food security from farm to factory in the face of climate change & economic migration
Social Inclusion - overcoming social, gender, age, and other power divides so all voices are heard in shaping our future
Data Transparency - collection & sharing - from 'community to cloud' - to catalyze collaboration that builds local assets
Outcomes from this rich one day dialogue rich program directly informed an innovative, ICT driven community service initiative,“Catalyst Action Training (CAT)”.
