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.

Beyond Vegan Permaculture Design Course

Non-commercial year-long Beyond Vegan Permaculture Design Course, Mexico 2022-2023.

👉 Free Food For Future (FFFF) co-host gatherings to foster relationships between plant-based people (both fully practicing, and the ones committed to fast track their transition) & Libre Food projects in Community Food Forests in Mexico and applicable worldwide.

👉 We seek to facilitate a year-long Beyond Vegan Permaculture Design Course (BeVegPDC). Co-creating it with a group of living beings of all generations, family-oriented, free-breathing spaces, where participants certify each other as peers in a non-commercial agreement* after fulfilling all modules at the end of the year-long BeVegPDC.

👩‍🎓➡️ The BeVegPDC will be comprised by a variety of modules, for example, but not limited to:

• Noble Peace: Is peace for ALL beings, or is it just for HUMAN beings? A Non-Negotiable Stand For Life. Full Presence Collective Action.

• Sovereign Living Beings, Land, Air and Water: Earth my Body, Water my Blood, Wind my Breath and Fire my Spirit. Standing the test of time. 

• “Eco. no. my” (not my home) to “Eco. yes. we” (we are home): Enjoying the Scarcity to Prosperity journey. There is no planet B. That’s right! Instead of focusing on what we don’t have, let me propose to you to think about this wonderful Planet A that we don’t “have” either, but to think instead we that “are” it. 

• PermaParenting: From Full Presence in Pro(Co)Creation, to co-parenting Free Children.

• Community Food Forests and Permagardens: Groups of people planting mostly perennial, mostly using plant-based fertilizers, cover crops and no-till methods while regenerating biological regions with abundant diversity.

👉 Additionally:

• Excursions to (potential) Plant-based & Stock-free Community Food Forests.

• Guest Speakers

• Conversations

🆘 Please join us by giving your full attention to details described on the blog post: Peace. After accomplishing it, please share with us your insights in writing on an email to ffff@freefoodforfuture.org  

👉 Keep in mind that we will put your answers available for all other people also joining this year long journey.

Land Access and Outdoor Access

“How should we have minimized this [“crazy” and “evil” conspiracy theories about me regarding vaccination and the COVID-19 pandemic], either working out with the social media companies, or explaining what we are up to in a better way?” – Bill Gates

Yes, Bill. I agree with you here: How would you explain what you are up to in a better way? BTW, I really hope “your heart is as soft and warm as your sweater”.

“Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, has an alter ego: Farmer Bill, the guy who owns more farmland than anyone else in America.” -Eric OKeefe, The Land Report

The institutional support is set up not only for denying people like you and me to have land access. But now in corona crisis times, we are also being denied OUTDOOR access.

The greatest protest in the history of the world has been ongoing over 6 months and hardly anyone is talking about it. 250 million small farmers are protecting their land and food security of India from the hands of #CorporateGlobalisation #CorporateGlobalization #LandGrabbing

Tell Bill Gates to donate land to organic farmers.

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”.

Bees, Air Pollution and Environmental Day Actions

https://image.spreadshirtmedia.com/image-server/v1/compositions/13261656T842A2PC115119705PA1776PT17X34Y0S49/views/1,width=300,height=300,appearanceId=2,version=1440417743/bee-with-gas-mask-t-shirts-tote-bag.jpg

After one of the most terrible weeks of Air Pollution in Mexico City’s (YES! We are in Mexico) history, it is time to celebrate #WorldBeeDay today.

What is the link between air pollution and bees? (You might be wondering)

Let’s talk first about bees…

In order to produce 1 pound of honey, 2 million flowers must be visited. A hive of bees must fly 55,000 miles to produce a pound of honey. One bee colony can produce 60 to 100 pounds of honey per year. An average worker bee makes only about 1/12 teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

Source: http://www.goldenblossomhoney.com/education_bees.php

As you might have noticed, the last piece of information comes from a honey company. I would dare to say that companies like this one are the most interested in taking actions to keeping bees alive. But for opposite reasons to those of vegans. (Read The honey industry)

Now, talking about air pollution. It’s consequences are not exclusive for humans. Air pollution is also thought to be affecting bees. Preliminary research shows that air pollutants interact with scent molecules released by plants which bees need to locate food. The mixed signals interfere with the bees ability to forage, making them slower and less effective at pollination.

According to the UN, here is how you can help taking action to #BeatAirPollution.

Decide what action you are going to take to #BeatAirPollution

Here are some examples:

  • Use public transport or car sharing, cycle or walk
  • Switch to a hybrid or electric vehicle and request electric taxis
  • Turn off the car engine when stationary
  • Reduce your consumption of meat and dairy to help cut methane emissions
  • Compost organic food items and recycle non-organic trash
  • Switch to high-efficiency home heating systems and equipment
  • Save energy: turn off lights and electronics when not in use 
  • Choose non-toxic paints and furnishings

Source: https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/get-involved/world-environment-day-mask-challenge

I would add that rather than just reducing your meat and dairy consumption, planning to gradually eliminate them while replacing that void with the best locally sourced and toxin-free produce (vegetables, grains and fruits) would be most beneficial to all life on Earth.  

Have a look at the Food Target PDF for more info on how this can help you, other animals and the whole planet.

ON A FINAL NOTE: If you are into observing international celebrations, you’ll also want to pay attention to this date coming up soon:

Air pollution is the theme for World Environment Day on 5 June 2019. The quality of the air we breathe depends on the lifestyle choices we make every day. Learn more about how air pollution affects you, and what is being done to clean the air. What are you doing to reduce your emissions footprint and #BeatAirPollution?

Guiding Star and Near Star in Systems Thinking

Non-commercial year-long
Beyond Vegan Permaculture
Design Course,
Mexico 2022-2023.

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):

Experimental Peace Research and Learning Centers Post

So it happens, a few weeks ago Sylvie enrolled us both in a free course offered by +Acumen called Designing for Environmental Sustainability and Social Impact, recommended by one of her closest friends. We are using this online learning experience as a means to get more structure in developing Experimental Peace Research and Learning Centers(1).

We are excited about the possibilities to find the best way to frame our projects using the concepts we are meant to learn the following 6 weeks of duration of this course.
