Feeding the World
Welcome to Feeding the World where we look after each other worldwide and commit to the thriving of us all. We start with the basics of food and water. Nutritious food and clean water are basic rights for all children and their families. We commit to all of us thriving and transforming our world in a profoundly beneficial way!
Our Mission: Feeding the World Team is to assist in providing healthy, nutritious food and clean water to all the people of the world. Priorities are to feed people who are starving, to increase the nutritional value of all food, and to educate and assist all people in growing food.
This initiative is also working on solutions for depleted soil, water and the inhumane treatment of livestock. This is the group that is working on solutions to supply chain issues and on revamping distribution to link communities and encourage each geographic area to produce their own foods to minimize unnecessary global transport.

Feeding the World Networks
There are many amazing efforts going forward in the world to bring people food in the face of possible shortages and increasing inflation. In addition to providing resources that teach about growing food, healing the land and finding food, it is our intention to merge existing public efforts with our own to provide healthier food at lower cost. We aim to assist in providing all the people of the world with food and water by building networks and supporting existing networks that focus on organic farmers, independent growers and ranchers. Intending to support existing food banks, restaurants and suppliers to add to our network of honest and competent organizations, we are also building a network of independent distributors to assist in supplying food where necessary.

Forming Coops & Community Gardens
Starting a food co-op is basically a 3-step process:
- Identify where you would like to bulk buy. If you are a supplier, identify additional suppliers to create a group.
- Set up an account. If you are a supplier spread the word about your offerings.
- Connect with others to create a shared order. If you are a supplier create how you wish to receive orders.
There are more processes within these steps, yet these three (3) things capture the simplicity and accessibility of creating a co-op. This works in any country. Pick up the phone, put out a flier, make a post on social media and you are well on your way!
