Stays on your phone
Your profile is created and stored on your phone. There is no copy on a server, so nobody else can lose it or leak it.
Common Source connects farmers, cities and citizens in regional food networks. You create one profile on your phone and use it in every network you join.
One profile for every Living Lab and partner network. No email address, no account on a server.
Your profile is created and stored on your phone. There is no copy on a server, so nobody else can lose it or leak it.
Join Cities Leading Food Production, Nieuw-West, EU4Advice or Utrecht with the same profile. New networks can be added as they come on board.
A network has to ask before it can read anything from your profile. You see each request and choose what to approve.
It takes about a minute, and the profile works in every network that supports Common Source.
The app creates your keys on the phone itself. You don't need an email address or a password, and nothing is sent to a server.
Contacts, messages and Living Labs are all on one home screen.
Use the same profile in Utrecht, in Amsterdam or in a research partner's portal, and choose what each one can see.
Cooperatives, cities and research projects, each running their own network on Common Source.
Twenty-three European cities coordinating procurement, growers and citizen-led food councils.
Farm advisors across Europe sharing knowledge, with contributions recorded and rewarded automatically.

A neighbourhood food cooperative in Amsterdam West, linking local growers with local kitchens.

City-wide supply tracking, from the field to the school canteen.
Running a cooperative, a research project or a municipal programme? We'd like to hear from you.
Most identity services keep a copy of your details on their servers so they can reset your password. That same copy is what ends up leaked or sold when things go wrong. Common Source doesn't keep one.
Write the phrase down on paper and keep it somewhere safe, the same way you would a passport or the deeds to a house.
Set-up takes about a minute. You don't need an email address or a password, just your phone.
