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.
The art of awareness
What makes the DEEP LOOK film so special? It is not a film, it is a reflection about the art of observation. The art of awareness is the essence of life. Why would the universe exist if no one would be able to contemplate it? The entire purpose of any existence is that someone can enjoy watching it. DEEP LOOK observes people. Watch this trailer
Veysi, trying to look cool 😉
The film was made by Veysi, a turkish immigrant who grew up in The Hague, observing how society transformed from a mere Dutch white community into a multicultural colorful caleidoscope of people. Veysi was born deaf. This did not hinder him to finish his study cumlaude and dedicate 7 years of his life to make DEEP LOOK as a musical visual of people who crossed his path. Veysi presents his view in slow motion, allowing us to grasp emotions in great detail while making us reflect about the high speed pace in which we live our lives, missing the beauty of detail as we go.
For those of you who live too far from Eindhoven to come and enjoy this art form we share this visual song from Veysi
The film will be shown 4 saturdays in a row in Eindhoven in NatLab (May 6, 13, 20, 27). The 10€ fee is to cover the expense of renting the theatre for the show.
Memorandum of Understanding to combat the effects of radiation
Today I signed in the name of the STIR Foundation (City of Tomorrow) a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian SYENERGY ENVIRONICS Ltd to work together on reducing the effects of the tremendous amount of radiation that has accumulated around us through all kinds of electronic and communication devices. This interview of physicist Barry Trower, published on YouTube is worrying enough. We tend to look positively at our progress and firmly believe that education and awareness within sustainocratic cooperations is the best way to eliminate the lethally manipulative powers that affect us today.
In STIR we committed to core natural human values. Not only governance is held accountable for this, our entire societal commitment to life and wellness is. Such accountability is proving to be the driving force behind a whole stream of new entrepreneurial activities with a perspective of economic development and social engagement for many decades to come.
In the region of Eindhoven we look for a few show cases in which we can demonstrate the positive effects of dealing with raditions in a progressive and responsible way. The effects show in our health, productivity and even our genetic herritage.
Sustainocracy, the new democracy
