Abstract:

Alternate energy sources can gain a foothold in Ocracoke from the ongoing microgrid project. The project can be particularly advantageous to this area during hurricanes and winter storms, when Ocracoke may be cut off from the grid’s central station power.

Abstract:

A community project that has been around for decades, albeit under different names like Victory Garden, is being rethought in terms of location. Community gardens, a project commonly associated with urban areas, may find a new home in rural areas. Organizations like North Carolina Community Partners and Rural Advancement Foundation International are working together to educate rural communities about the benefits of community gardens.
