Building What Solarpunk Only Renders: How AGPL-3 Closes the Aesthetics-to-Action Gap
We're not anti-solarpunk. We're building what solarpunk imagines. The difference is that our municipal broadband strategies specify procurement policies. Our platform cooperative frameworks document governance structures. Our quantum network analysis tools run on actual quantum processors. Our AGPL-3 commitment isn't aspirational—it's license compliance verified at the infrastructure layer.

When Surplus Becomes Scarcity: How Agrinet Turns Food Waste Into Food Security
Agrinet doesn't convince people to waste less food. It makes surplus visible to everyone in real time, creating transparent market information that enables efficient distribution. The protocol doesn't lecture farmers about storage techniques. It connects them directly to buyers, making harvest profitable instead of wasteful. It doesn't shame consumers for wasting food. It shows them local produce available for purchase today, making fresh food accessible instead of expensive.

These networks were characterized by strong local ties and minimal long-distance connections.
