Remember the flash mob phenomenon that started back in 2003?
Say hello, friends, to “crop mobs.” Basically, a bunch of young people organize via technology and social media to help out en masse on small, sustainable farms. The farmers provide the work–and lunch.
My prediction? You’re gonna hear a lot about ’em during 2010.
The movement’s got a blog, a new Twitter account (@cropmob), a Facebook fan page, and a spiffy mention in New York Times Magazine this past weekend.
What I’m waiting for next? Someone to figure out how to mash-up crop mobs, Mafia Wars and Farmville.
Just sayin’.
