It will not be 1 game changing idea.
The Big Idea is actually a number of smaller ideas working together.
It will be many themes working together.
It will include land reform and access to Calgary's immense land base.
It will include growing food, selling food and the development of a local food system.
It will include innovation in growing techniques for our environment and establishing a distribution and retail network. It will include shelter innovation and a dramatic shift in the way we build.
It will include a transition from the word WASTE to the word RESOURCE.
The game changer will be the way we organize & approach the challenge of poverty.
