"The software behind localfoodsystems.org is now available for download, use, adaptation and enhancement. It was developed using Drupal, which is also open source software, through a USDA Specialty Crops Research Initiative Regional Partnerships for Innovation grant, and is now available to the public to ensure that social networking tools are freely available to those developing food systems and innovations related to specialty crops. Please share this message with programmers or those in charge of websites for organizations working on food system development who may have an interest in offering social networking tools to their members."

Welcome to the home of Transition Town Westcliff, an exploration of how the people of Westcliff on Sea and the surrounding area can prepare for a carbon constrained, energy lean world. TTW is a community-led initiative which is working towards the creation of an Energy Descent Action Plan for the town. The thinking behind TTW is simply that a town using much less energy and resources than we presently consume could, if properly planned for and designed, be more resilient, more abundant and more pleasurable than the present. TTW also believe that only by involving all of us - residents, businesses, public bodies, community organisations and schools - will we come up with the most innovative, effective and practical ideas, and have the energy and skills to carry them out.
