Competition & Collaboration Framework
Community-Selected Collaboration
Our platform enables community-selected collaboration for circular food systems. Ideas are shortlisted by community votes, selected by Feedback Organic for development funding, and contributions of time and expertise are recognised and celebrated.
Idea Selection
Ideas are selected at Feedback Organic's discretion, informed by community voting and published criteria. Any funding amounts shown are indicative and subject to confirmation. Selection does not constitute an offer of investment, equity, employment, or guaranteed funding.
Contribution Recognition
Contributors of time, expertise, and resources are recognised as founding supporters. All contributions are tracked transparently and acknowledged in project reporting.
Impact Reporting
Supporters receive quarterly impact reports showing how contributions and selected projects have translated into real outcomes: jobs created, waste diverted, households served.
Project Governance
Community-designed projects are governed by the project team with oversight from Feedback Organic. Supporters receive regular updates and can participate in future ideation rounds.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes are resolved through mandatory mediation, followed by binding arbitration if necessary. Transparent contribution and selection records support all proceedings.
