grow the food movement by creating an online community for the millions of sustainably minded people worldwide working to reshape our food systems. Part of that mission is helping to fund initiatives like Falling Fruit’s, one of the very first projects fundraising through the platform. Welty met Barnraiser founders at Forward Food, a recently held food justice conference in Boulder. The Smartphone app will enable users to access and interact with Falling Fruit’s massive database of edibles from anywhere. A textmessage interface will be developed alongside for the two-thirds of the global human population lacking access to smartphones or the Internet.
