Fostering Wellbeing Through Local Food Ecosystems

.

The bigger goal: grow into a regional self-sufficient nature-inclusive ecosystem. In the current project phase, we are unraveling the chain, including the chain of the chain, from soil fungi and crop to nutrients and gut bacteria. Because this is just the beginning; an exploration of what we are up against in the short term, positively and negatively, in order to scale up the project in the near future. Organic and regenerative farmers and a food forest have been approached within a 15 kilometer radius of Eindhoven's Catharina Church. Together they provide the necessary 4,500 kilos of ingredients, to inspire people within Catharina Hospital, among others, with this Biotope Brainport meal. The milestone will be supported by a presentation at Kazerne. Biotope Brainport is a call for action for new alliances between experts and omthinkers, including scientists, farmers, designers, suppliers and buyers. To activate a hopeful movement together.
