Executive Summary
# Year 2: Strengthening Nova Scotia’s Farming Network (2024–2025) The second Dalhousie Sustainability Capstone team built on the previous year’s work by focusing on farmers’ financial realities and infrastructure needs across Nova Scotia. Through interviews at farmers’ markets and online surveys, the students gathered firsthand insights from local producers about barriers to funding, equipment access, and climate resilience. Their research identified opportunities for Food Web to act as a third-party facilitator for shared farm infrastructure; helping farmers rent, lease, or lend equipment and facilities through a digital platform. The team’s recommendations informed the design of Food Web’s upcoming Infrastructure Sharing Hub, aimed at making collaboration and resource-sharing easier across the province
