Petit Poucet, a hyperlocal exchange network around Tours
A Saint-Avertin community app for sharing surplus produce, seeds, and services through a non-monetary reward system called pépites.
Field notes
Residents receive five pépites on signup and circulate them by offering or collecting items such as tomatoes, seeds, and jam. The units are explicitly non-monetary, capped, and cannot be purchased. Local partners can validate a daily pépite with a member’s QR code, while municipalities are described as funding themed challenges and receiving annual impact measurements. The public page names Saint-Avertin and nearby Tours as the initial area, with data hosted in France.
