Have you asked yourself?

 

 

After all we took away, it is time to give back. 

 

We invite you to this unique online community course on food consciousness. If you want to meet lots of likeminded people, share your ideas and projects, network and learn from our amazing teachers, join us.

​

Our food consciousness course covers seven themes:

 

       Food sovereignty

      Ayurveda medicine

      Seed justice

      Forest food systems and wild beekeeping

      Indigenous science

      Women and food

      What food to buy to protect the environment

What is the course about?

Why take this course now?

 

The way we eat has a direct impact on climate change and biodiversity loss.

 

We need to change our current commodity system to a forest food production system, and transition toward local produced and self-subsistent ways of living.

​

This community course will raise food awareness and build, strengthen and connect food conscious communities and people around the world.  

​

No longer can we act as individuals, as single authors of our lives. We must act as interdependent communities, growing and sharing the earth's nourishment. Change starts when we give back.
