I started this blog last summer as a place to hash out ideas for my thesis and deliberate a bit about some of the (farming/food/informatics/cartography) context for my work. I defended my dissertation three weeks ago and received extremely positive feedback from my readers - all of whom encouraged me to pursue the project further and push for government implementation. Unfortunately, contact with the relevant EU branch, as well as the Valencian agriculture ministry, has not proven to be very fruitful. I wonder if I might not be better off ditching the quality label slant and using the Farm2.0 framework to build a site for my beloved grocery cooperative,
Wheatsville. If the job hunt I'm embarking upon proves half as bleak as everyone has warned me it will be, I might have a lot of free time on my hands...
In any case, I'll conclude my proto-geo posts with the extended version of the final presentation I gave at my defense. (I took out some of the farming material at the beginning to meet my 20 minute time limit.) Cheers!

I really enjoyed following your blog, writing a very interesting thesis (and publishing some very interesting intermezzos). I hope your grades are in the same line as your readers' comments.
All the best in your search for a job. I think the new web is a geoweb and you won't have a hard time finding work.
Cheers! Remember, open source is a permanent cure for idle time ;)
nice work. I which we had artichokes like the ones in your presentation in Germany:-)
