Social media can be used to connect with others and broaden the conversation. According to this article a farm in the United States began using social media to avoid waste.
The idea arose after Nick Papadopoulos of Bloomfield Farms in California found he was repeatedly returning from markets with high quality unsold produce. After one weekend of being at the markets he began to promote what produce was left using Facebook and selling it at discounted prices. It turned out to be such a success that that Papadopoulos has created a blog-like website to connect with even more people called CropMobster.
With CropMobster many farmers and grocers can contribute and connect with small businesses or charities looking for less expensive good food.
