Online debate: Our natural right to be (regionally) self sufficient?
Join our zoom Safari of July 28th at 16.00 CET about food resilience. “Poverty is not about money, it is about the lack of possibilities to be self sufficient” (Nashif Ahmed, Uganda).
Our FRE2SH interactive learning program consists of 10 modules. They discuss regional self sufficiency for food resilience world wide. The online Safari is an open dialogue about one of themes. In this case the right to be self sufficient. We use inspiration from Uganda with Nashif Ahmed who runs a small farm to provide a group of orphans with food and education.
We also invite three other speakers: Dr. Anna Berti Suman (Italy). She is a lawyer defending the right for self determination. Fabrizio Biganzoli (Italy), an environmental scientist and risk analyst.
And Danielle Carneiro (Brasil), a mother who transformed her life from lawyer in the financial markets into fighting food waste and developing food awareness.

Multidimensional Entrepreneurship
In 2011 I published a book about modern 21st century entrepreneurship, called Multidimensional Entrepreneurship (MDE). It deals with the five key principles of entrepreneurship and many other things that I addressed as coach and consultant between 2004 and 2009. Due to all my effort in establsihing my own MDE with the City of Tomorrow I kept delaying the promotion of the book until it was forgotten all together. Until today!!
It is more current than ever and maybe that is why it has been collecting dust for over a decade. Today many new age entrepreneurs may benefit from the steps and insights brought forward in the book. It is available a Ebook through Lulu.com:
ISBN: 978-1-4476-0356-6 – Author: Jean-Paul Close
Feedback is always welcome if you decide to read it. The little royalties go into the STIR Foundation to further develop Sustainocracy.
What can you expect from the 10 months FRE2SH OSFD online course on re-building resilient food systems?
The course is available worldwide online through OSFD (Online School of Food Design) for those who are working in the field of sustainability, resilient human and natural systems, redefinition of regional functions and societal interaction, in this case particularly focused on food. Other courses are being developed around other combination of core natural human values.
The course consists of 10 modules of local food self sufficiency community building. Each module is built around a particular theme with the overall scope of re-building food resilience and balance with ourselves and our natural environment. Each module contains:

The following topics are planned to be covered per module (subject to possible modification). You can subscribe through this link. We advice you to take the Aventurer option if you are really thinking of developing your local food system, or if you are already are active and need inspiration, international contacts or wish to share your thoughts. If you are just curious then the Seeker option is a your best value for money:
The course is a result of 12 years of experimentation by the STIR Foundation on sustainable human progress, including all kinds of food systems and citizen engagement routines. The overall objective is to create a global community around food awareness and engagement development, our core human values and sustainable development of our species by taking responsibility locally and together (people and institutions). We want to eliminate hunger through participatory sharing. We wish to share our evolutionary experiences, best practice and insights in order to provide sustainable wellness to all human beings in the world in collaboration with our natural environment. We intend to provide the insights and experiences as accessible as possible to the entire world.
