In spring quarter of 2017, I will continue to create a business that focuses on regional agricultural exchanges. The progress of the business will be reflected by status updates to my sponsor on the development of the website and business. This work will entail working with software developers and learning more about corporate law. To accelerate the transition to more regional agricultural models, I will perform research on the bygone commodity systems practiced by First Nations of America and blogposts will subsequently be created about this research.
