Health leadership in the USA
A lot is being said about Donald Trump and not all of it is very supportive to say the least. Especially when it comes to his approach to deep state, kicking holy houses of the capitalist and warfare lobbies. With this tweet today he proves that actions say more than words. It is a type of health based leadership that I have not seen yet in our European cabinets.
Donald Trump on Twitter (X):
I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
He has not even been installed yet and gets out the broom to whipe the floor in a way no one else has done before. On the contrary, the world is full of pain and trash because of politicians luring with business at the expence of our health and environment. This tweet at least is a breath of fresh air.
Refugee community in Uganda starts own food production
Food is known as a community builder. At the side of food preparation and consumption the kitchen has traditionally been the family place to meet, talk, interact, help or simply be. In many cultures the food related activities take many hours and are the kernel of family or community life. In Uganda, the people in the Nakivale refugee settlement, asked their government for a few fields in which to develop their own food. The local government granted them the use of nearby fields for a period of 10 years including the option to buy them as property. Gradually local people started to get motivated to join the cultivation team. International foundations, such as STIR, try to help with small amounts of money, acquired through GoFund (link here), to allow the community to purchase materials, seeds and even water. We also provide online advice, as FRE2SH, on how to develop a local economy, providing recognition and fair sharing methods for those that invest time and energy in the cultivation process. We are pleased to see how many people are gathering and developing the food community.
Breaking with 10000 years of history
10000 years ago humankind developed the desire to own and control things. This had disastrous effects on our psychology, taking out the worst of our behavior. It may arguably be a phase in our human development, necessary to learn to deal with our impulses. In our current era this mentality has brought us on the verge of societal collapse and sincere doubts about the sustainable perspectives of our species, despite all technologies and science at hand. In a recent publication about Place Based Sustainability, an article was included about the breaking with this history of societal conditioning around financial growth and status. Instead of developing the mainstream attitude, I personally decided to step out and define my own human values based reality. A reality that would become Sustainocracy over time. The article also describes the process of the city of Eindhoven to define its own authenticity and identity as a city.
We see this break away attitude appear more and more, also in regional development, where quality of life gains in importance rather than just financial growth. In this short video I describe the painful human phase of greed, suppression, misuse of people and resources, warfare, etc that we are leaving behind us. Instead we define our authenticity and identity as wellness driven species, integrating ourselves back in a symbiotic way with ourselves and our natural environment.
Sustainocracy, the new democracy
