"Connecting with other movers can help you build your network, promote your work or source talent and keep you updated on innovations and developments. But maybe more important: you can find like minded people, energy and inspiration in the movement!"
OURR MANIFEESTO
Views
-
Food is a powerful force that can be used to shape our future.
-
We need an alternative and future proof approach to producing, cooking and consuming to be able to feed more people in a healthy way with a changing climate.
-
Cuisine always reinvents itself to express the flavors and concerns of its time and place.
-
We all need to know and understand our culture and ingredients.
-
Ghanaian cuisine is beautifully complex and difficult to define but some words that come to mind are: pride, heritage, community, welcoming spirit, joy, colors and diversity.
-
Food is the ultimate unifier in bringing people together.
-
Food is simply too valuable to waste.
-
It all starts at the source: we have to respect our farmers, our soils and our waters.
Intentions
-
The movement is pragmatic, fun, bold and proud.
-
We welcome anyone wanting to contribute while being undogmatic in finding different routes to our common goals.
-
We want to connect everyone along the value chain on this joint journey. Including (but not limited to): Ghanaian farmers, fishers, consumers, cooking craftsmen, industry, journalists, scientists, policy makers...
-
We will support and connect change makers and future proof initiatives in food.
-
We will be both an online community and an initiator for offline events and meet-ups.
-
We want people to appreciate all the work, knowledge and effort that goes into providing even the simplest food.
-
We want people to understand the interconnectivity of all players in the food system and the need for them to engage in open dialogue and concrete action.
