Congratulations to Foothills Connect and Tim Will, our first American recipient. We met Tim at Cusp in 2010. He spoke at the conference about his work educating farmers about small crop agriculture and connecting them with chefs, markets and restauranteurs. An amazing man, doing great things for the environment, farmers and rural communities in North Carolina. This project hits all the social, environmental, economic and cultural pillars of sustainability so it’s perfect for OGI. With Foothills Connect moving into a national model for rural development, it’s the perfect time for a branding strategy.

Mission Statement

Foothills Connect Business and Technology Center is a partnership providing support and access to a network of services and resources in a creative, engaging environment so individuals, businesses, and the community will prosper in the global economy.

Watch for updates on this project coming in 2012.

After much deliberation and hot debates we have chosen to award the 2010 One Good Idea prize to a partnership of Kin’s Farm Market and the Canadian Cancer Society. Their good idea is a campaign to raise awareness and $500,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society and includes an educational component to focus on cancer prevention.

We thank all the proponents for time and effort they put into their thoughtful submissions, it was by no means an easy decision. We invite those who are interested to submit again next spring and wish everyone success with their good ideas.
