Energy Solutions

1. Working with the community is the key to finding energy solution for our Island economic well being. It's not a "Just On The farm" problem any more. Today more than ever we need to being searching for sustainable fuel solutions that work for the farmers and the community.
2. Food or fuel options are shrinking as we try to grow traditionally. New energy sollutions for island farms need to be examined that reduce the energy footprint of the farm so that a sustainable model is created. A model that maybe overlooked is the micro grow and press model.
   
3. Micro model verses macro model. There is a difference between industrial production of fuel and a macro grow and press operation that is being overlooked because of the failure to understand the difference between these two fuel production models.
   
4. Growing fuels for farms means we need to see thing from a different lens.Our farms need to change and the community needs to rediscover the local food chain. A farmer need the ability to use his land to be sustainable in food fuel and fertilizer. growing fuel for the farm and using the byproduct for feed and fertilizer needs to remain part of the equation.
5. The third rotation adds up to sustainability. Based the information gathered in community consultations and kitchen table interviews we believe their is a need to document the existing projects and share this information so that communities can work together to find energy solutions for the farms and the food we eat
