We are always looking for new content, or new takes on old ideas. If you have an article idea or area of expertise you would like to write about, let us know and we’ll try to incorporate it into one of our departments. If you just want to get involved, we have some article ideas below that can inspire you to go out and do your own research, learn a bit more about local and sustainable food, and produce something to share with the community.

The list below is pretty free-form, just random ideas thrown out there. Some are suggestions, some are very specific, some are pretty general. The list is constantly changing and updating, and we will make a note of it if one of these topics is taken, but it’s always a good idea to check with us to make sure you’re not overlapping with someone else’s work.

If you’d like to suggest an article but don’t want to write it, you can write a comment. We encourage you to write for us though, as a great way to get involved, force yourself to put your ideas out there, and learn more about SOLE food.

So, in no particular order:
