City food security report
School of Talents is learning movement of the City of Tomorrow (STIR Foundation) in which students develop theories and new practical environments between our current fragile reality and the societal resilience provided by Sustainocracy.
Two students of Avans Highschool in Breda (Netherlands), Ibren and Fernando, joined the School of Talents to do their final year practical within environmental science. Their choice was to analyse the food resilience within cities and the need, potential and impediments of urban farming. Their report is highly inspirational and valuable for food labs, urban farming, technological innovation and governance. For STIR and the School of Talents the report is a solid foundation for establishing innovative circular food systems in the cities and develop new participative learning activities for new students. Here you find the index:
The management summary will be available free of charge. The full report is only available to the investors and sponsors of the School of Talents. People, business or governance that wish to engage into working on local food resilience can contact us.
The student Ibren will publically present and defend their findings in the School of Talents audience on August 14th at 15:00 in the aquaponics center of Eindhoven. Student Fernando wishes to continue the research for his own bachelor degree and expects to focus on the complexity of nutrients in circular city food systems.

World environment day with Dr. Swati
Another call for attention:
Sustainocratic STIR partner Dr. Swati presents her first english release of the successful Dr. Swati health TV show in India with a powerful message on pollution and climate issues. Her release coincides with World Environment Day.
We add an invitation to commit together
In 2009 STIR Foundation introduced the invitation to all societal stakeholders to a new level of collective accountability for developing our core conditions for sustainable human progress: Sustainocracy. In the region of Brabant (Netherlands) the staleholders accepted the invitation and AiREAS cooperative venture for the cocreation of our healthy city and environment was born.
Sustainocratic ventures and local AiREAS initiatives can be set up anywhere in the world where the stakeholders are willing to group together and take responsibility for innovative health driven processes. It proves to be a powerful innovative drive for all involved and a healing factor of economic wellness and stability.
Global Health Deal
In 2016 the local government took over the commitment for Health. In this video the key people of the province express their commitment.
This gave STIR and AiREAS the impulse to go global with the invitation, using the Dutch precedents as proof of concept and willingness to commit. In our global AiREAS publication we introduced a specific chapter (free downloadable) on the Global Health Deal invitation as well as a chapter on the new type of entrepreneurship that arises.
The alliance with Dr. Swati is one of the signals to the world that this process is successful, powerfully engaging and highly productive. And everyone can be part of it!
City food security
Our City of Tomorrow menu this week consisted of products produced entirely in the city of Eindhoven as part of the sustainocratic cocreation program referred to as FRE2SH (Food, Recreation, Education, Energy, Security and Health). We ate eatable flowers, trout, parsley, lettuce, mushroom, honey, etc. A much larger variety is being developed over time by using the available indoor and outdoor city space effectively everywhere in a sustainocratic cooperative for sustainable human progress and city resilience.
The Eindhoven city trout was delicious

Food resilience is key in modern smart city development. Current food supplies may seem to provide abundance but the production and distribution worldwide is destroying our landscapes and climate. FRE2SH uses the 4 x Value ideology with Sustainocratic cooperation between citizens, local government, innovative entrepreneurship and applied science to produce high impact local sustainable progress:
- Value for the human being (healthy food, engagement, awareness, security, less financial dependence, better nutrician)
- Value for society (job development, resilience, effective usage of space, reduced mobility, less bureaucracy, quality food supplies, circular economies)
- Value for the environment (less air pollution, less destruction of landscape, reduce ecological footprint, cyclic reuse of waste)
- Integral economic value (reduces societal costs, profitability by connection consumption directly with production, integrated process, holistic city eco system, circular economy, new local value sharing systems)
This way of working in a city is referred to as peer 4 regional development or the participatory society. It combines awareness, education, growth and sustainable human progress in a powerfull multidisciplinary interaction.
