Social Network Analysis

Social Network Analysis using
LocalFoodSystems.org

The main point of a tool developed by AMP, localfoodsystems.org, is to connect entrepreneurs at the early stages of their business planning, and help them plan entire supply chains rather than just their individual disconnected piece. Of course, many of the people who use the site are not entrepreneurs but can contribute in various ways to the planning and launch of businesses and new supply chains. The video below shows new site users arriving over the first few years of site activity. Many remain on the periphery and observe, but when exchanges take place in posts and replies to posts, connections are made and the network actively grows.
