CropMobster Merced is an community-based platform supporting community action and exchange on any food system-related topic. Moderated by staff at UC Merced and CropMobster, we are focused on: supporting hunger relievers, helping local farmers and small businesses, preventing waste and inspiring community “Can Do!”
Alerts are posted by the local community, which contain offers or requests in search of anything within the food and agriculture system. These can be a large quantity of apples being sold, farming equipment, livestock; restaurants looking to hire new employees, organizations marketing events, or even members in search of specific items.
When these alerts are published, the community is sent notifications via email and social media. Even if you may not be interested in a specific alert, the biggest power is the ability to share these alerts with your immediate friends or family that may be interested in an alert.
