What is Runrig?

Like the home page says,

Runrig is a communal farming platform, a libre software project, and a method for socio-ecological design. It calls for collective sovereignty over not just our food, but also the labor that raises it, the land and living things that support it, and the data connecting it all.

That's a mouthful that doesn't get much of the real shape and texture of the thing. The best place to start getting acquainted is The Runrig Plan, an even bigger mouthful, but check back soon for some more bite-size summations of what sorts of actual stuff we've built and what all's changed since this thing got started way back in 2022.

Who is Runrig?

Runrig is the product of many conversations with, and direct contributions from, many comrades between the GOAT community, OpenTEAM, Skywoman, DWeb, and many other spheres of interest.

For the moment, however, Jamie Gaehring is the solo cat-herder (Hi, that's me! 👋🏻). I hope to change that soon, so check the get involved page for updates on how to join, particularly if you're a tech worker, food worker, farmer, or activist. I also welcome direct inquiries, constructive feedback, and other support via email, if that's your preference.
