Projects
CoCanberra projects:
- The Pre power Renewable Energy Cooperatives
PrePower is pioneering a new form of self-funding cooperative. The Prepower Co-op has been formed, and is in the process of being built into the first of many renewable energy cooperatives. The unique self-funding model is transferrable to other sectors, which will be developed in the future.
- Soil City Cooperative Farms
Inspired by the sale of some local organic farms, Co-Canberra is developing a model for ensuring that the succession of organic farms can run smoothly, transferring ownership from the existing farmer to a farming co-operative which is owned and controlled in common by the farmers and the customers. Protecting the living soil, providing a secure place for farmers to collaborate, bringing in young farmers and developing the art of farming to fully utilise our ecological inheritance in a productive, multi enterprise whole farm system.
