Wow.. how to begin listing all of the ways ICT helps. From recording, measuring, comparing, researching, promoting, selling, broadcasting, communicating, collaborating, campaigning..  

We live in a digital and connected age. We are astonishingly priviledged and potent!

May I introduce Sustaination? It's like a professional food trade network with an emphasis on SME, sustainability, and relocalisation. 

It's a little like "LinkedIn for local food and farmers" (as Fast Company put it) which makes it quick and easy for food business to be found, connect, and trade.

We use technology to rebalance things in favour of small food businesses. We help you find new trade partners , relocalise , and access real-time opportunities.   It's a professional network serving every type of food business , from farm to fork, at every scale and turnover.   It's free for most small users (we price by turnover) and you can find out more at www.sustaination.co
