How food connects us to Earth 🍌 Conscious Food Systems Alliance Case studies

Conscious Food Systems Alliance has put together a collection of case studies that showcase exemplary practises in conscious and regenerative food systems. And we at Gaia Education are so proud to be a part of it!

🍉Food connects us fundamentally with the Earth and with one another and the Conscious Food systems alliance wants to help people connect to nature again through eating and the food that sustains us. This in return can help us alleviate and solve dysfunctional food systems; hunger, obesity epidemics, legislative issues of farmers, biodiversity loss and extractive production practices 🌎

Indigenous and traditional wisdom have embraced these holistic, aware food systems for millennia and it is time for the modern world to embrace ancient knowledge 🧿

Gaia Education has been acknowledged as nurturing regenerative lifestyles worldwide through holistic Ecovillage design. The roots of Gaia Education started at the Findhorn ecovillage where the general ethos is honouring nature and working with it in regards to all aspects of our lives. Permaculture methods are used throughout the village to produce food that helps the Earth to regenerate while nourishing the people who live on it. The community also offers an opportunity to get together daily for joint meals and connect with each other. 

You can learn more about the food systems that we advocate for as well as the seven other selected organisations here.
