Could this be food for thought for non-commercial business ideas for thriving kins domain’s community food forests? Training Honoring Life’s Final Passage https://finalpassages.org/

Thus claiming back the rites of passage that bring us to this plane of existence, and also the final rite of passage to exit it.

World Vegetarian Day

Today is World Vegetarian Day 2022, and in a month’s time it will be the turn for World Vegan Day 2022.

What is the connection between both?

There might be a couple of connections. On this post we will zoom in on this one: All vegans eat vegetarian food (not to be confused with ovo lacto vegetarian). But not all everyone eating vegetarian food are necessarily vegan.

It might sound like a riddle. Actually is a very simple concept.

Take this is as an invitation to download The Food Target brochure to learn (or relearn) the ropes. And also to remember that words matter.

The big question is: Will Community Food Forests be able to provide a complete, tasty, varied and nutritious Vegetarian food year around?

Answer: Of course NOT. Only a cooperative Worldwide Community Food Forest Network will accomplish that. Note: To be fair, not one permaculture project in a single private property is able to provide a complete, tasty, varied and nutritious food source year around no matter if it is an omnivore or vegetarian design.

Free Food For Future

Thriving community food forests, rich in Biodiversity & Nature, Regenerative Food Production, Nutrition and Flavors, Emotions, Community & Governance, and New Economy Models.

Money doesn’t grow on trees. But food does! “Growing your food is like printing your own money.” (Credit to Ron Finley) But unlike money, food is something we love sharing with others. And growing food is more fun, especially when done in community.

Food that satisfies this list of principles CANNOT be called free on its own if it is not accompanied by a large number of the following riches:

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Loquats (locally known as “Nísperos”)

I read somewhere that all the round and colorful decoration on a Christmas tree 🎄 represent the wishful thinking of seeing fruits again hanging on the trees once the winter have passed.

So these are just the first wave of the presents this loquat tree is giving us the day before Christmas.

Hey, Kids! Don’t try this at home 😉

Funny thing is this tree is most probably the result from a squirrel that dropped or buried the fruits seed in this narrow patch of soil. Such a fine example that “everyone gardens”.

Cultivating Environments Full of Taste and Health

Make food tasty & nutritious again by growing its full potential in thriving environments.

“It is entirely possible that we could eat an amazing 300,000 plant species. However, the reality is that we only consume a tiny fraction of what is possible. Homo sapiens, which is the most cosmopolitan of all species and one that thrives by virtue of being a supreme generalist, survives, by routinely eating only about 200 plant species. Amazingly more than half of the calories and the proteins that we derive from plants are provided by just three crops: maize, rice, and wheat.”

Guiding Star and Near Star in Systems Thinking

For the next module of Designing for Environmental Sustainability and Social Impact, – the free +Acumen course we are taking – The Noble Peace Tribe went deep into Systems Thinking. Way deep!

The good news is that we resurfaced with clarity on, among other things, both our guiding star (vision) and near stars (5-10 year goals):

Guiding star (vision)

A humane global system change that transcends war to 
peace, exploitation to cooperation and fear to trust*

(* Read more on this here:
LASTING PEACE AND FUNCTIONING COMMUNITIES)

We used a feedback loop approach to visualize our guiding star and got a vicious cycle about the currently ending global system, and a virtuous cycle about the humane global system change. Here, have a look at both and give us your feedback… loop (no, sorry, just your feedback):
