| Rainbow Region Organic Markets. We
have set up a growers market at the Lismore showgrounds every Wednesday
morning 7 - 10am. We are starting slowly but the first market was greeted
with such enthusiasm that growers went home and immediately boosted both
range and quantity of produce. We are predicting that by the end of
February we will have 50 or more stalls with a huge range of produce . We
are encouraging shops and restaurants and bulk buyers but we also serve
the public. This is a regional attempt to be more connected and encourage
more local production. http://www.nor.com.au/community/organic/ |

| GLOBAL TO LOCAL is a Lismore-based
coalition of interested citizens, loosely coordinated through the
Rainforest Information Centre (but also linked to the Australia Connects
movement of a similar name) who are interested in a long term campaign of
increasing local community economic literacy in relation to globalisation.
In particular we aim to highlight the role that globalisation trends have
in undermining local economies, and to promote the development of robust
local economy through informed business, consumer and community
decision-making. Contact Valerie Thompson on 6645 3933 valthomo@hotmail.com
