iPhone-based Mobile Guide to Greenmarkets, Farmers, CSAs and Seasonal Produce in New York City Project History: The idea for a "mobile/smartphone guide to all things green and sustainable" is not new. It has inspired many wonderful Iphone apps already currently available: iLocavore, Greenopia, 3dWhale ... just to name a few.
But of "all things green and sustainable in NYC", so far there are few mobile platforms that map and encourage its resources and innovations, while websites abound.
The "NYC Greenmarkets" I-phone based mobile site is the first of several projects from this desk, inspired by my many strolls through the greenmarkets. While observing and listening to shoppers, school children, NYC visitors, farmers, greenmarket managers, hospital patients, etc. al... it made wonder what could be made possible if there was an open, free, portable, mobile-site guide around.
