Food as a remedy
Join us for our OSFD Odyssey and FRE2SH talks on Thursday March 23rd at 16.00 CET on zoom. Please register here for free to attend.
We are a living manifestation of nature and as such everything in nature happens through us.
Jean-Paul Close (Sustainocracy)
We are continuously being challenged to develop natural, lasting and evolutionary resilience through illnesses such as the flu or the corona virus. Other species such as bacteria, mosquitos, fungi, etc. use us as their own source of nutrition, especially when we are weakened and sick. Other of such species interact with us very positively. In fact our inner world is an ecosystem on itself with various millions of species interacting.
In order to build up and sustain our resilience individually and collectively as a species we need to use our consciousness and self-awareness to keep balance with our inner and outer environment. And this living environment is full of remedies for us to benefit from. Our pharmaceutical industries are entirely based on the wisdom of nature. A wisdom that is available to us directly through herbs, balanced diets, engagement with nature, self-awareness, etc.

She runs an educational food forest in the city of Eindhoven in the Netherlands where she develops workshops and training for groups, including schoolchildren. Maartje promotes a healthy lifestyle and food awareness to keep the doctor away. She believes in natural remedies through knowledge of herbs and natural food rather than medication.
Marcela Correia
Marcela and her team in Brasil started to experiment with fermentation for non alcoholic drinks. These probiotic drinks are slowly fermented with yeast and bacteria. They have a very good effect on our internal wellness. Their drinks are called Kombuchá and available in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo.

4 x WIN in food entrepreneurship through FRE2SH and OSFD
If there is one area where 4 x WIN entrepreneurship is making a breaking point difference it is in the transformative world of food awareness and building local resilience together with nature. The world of industrialized and manipulative mass production of food is most definitely the main cause of massive destruction of our landscapes, misuse of energy resources, increase of health care costs and the basis of climate alterations, pollution and global poverty with social unrest and migrations needs for millions of people. In our view this is an ecological and humanitarian crime that is only justified in the financially dominated structures.
Leveraging food to a level of shared responsibility and human essential, instead of treating it as a commodity in the speculative hands of financial interests, changes entirely the way we deal with are relationship with nature, engagement with food, related entrepreneurial initiatives and local development of integral wellness. Paying attention to local for local regenerative food self sufficiency, implementing collaborative techniques with nature for shared abundance, diversity and quality of food, solves nearly all major issues around the world.
Our human entrepreneurial world needs to focus urgently on recapitalizing the world with our natural living environment to help us survive. A new entrepreneurial spirit arises around food as a corner stone for sustainable human life, one that needs respect, collaboration with nature, understanding and engagement. It is not about domestication and control. It is about symbiotic collaboration and integration in the dynamics of a living reality, not by killing it for food yet by serving it for nutrition.
FRE2SH is a community of such new age entrepreneurs across the world. Together we are this new world of engagement and focus. Through OSFD we help other that wish to initiate or develop such entrepreneurship and become part of the community. Every month we gather online to talk with experts on related topics. This month (november 24th at 16.00 CET, Amsterdam time) we will discuss the new age entrepreneurship.
Also please do share this talk around/on social media if you know some friends or colleagues who might be interested! Here is the link to register (free): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fdn-safari-14-new-age-food-entrepreneurship-tickets-469731588827
Open online discussion about applying food forests for regenerative food resilience in the world
On september 22 at 15.00 CET we will open the FRE2SH global zoom again (register for free participation) together with our educational partner OSFD and various experts. This third learning theme in the series of ten on regenerative food resilience is about Food Forests. Participation is free of charge.
Our speakers come from Colombia, Rio de Janeiro and Poland. Each have a passion for our relationship with nature for our food supply.
Lucas Posada (Colombia) is active in the field of intuitive cooking. He tries the broaden the meaning of food and our awareness that we as human being are an expression of our natural environment. Fernanda Tubenchlak (Brasil) has a more academic contribution. She did a masters in forest landscape restauration and the role of agroforestry in those processes. Andrew Kandziora and Agnieszka (Aga) Guziewicz represent their Chata Mirdada Health and Recovery resort in Poland where they work together with nature for integral human wellness.
We are excited to connect so many initiatives in our global FRE2SH network. Together we create a new reality around food resilience and restoration of both our health and our natural environment. We wish to eliminate hunger, poverty and inequality by defining food as a shared responsibility instead of an industrialized commodity.
We are equally excited to be able to help so many new people ahead with our low cost OSFD learning environment and collection of experts, to make this reality grow into a new mainstream of Health Valleys accross the world.
