GO is a collection of individuals - diverse and inclusive - bound by our affinity for healthy and own-grown food.
AIM: Our mission is to transform the way we eat from highly-processed, unhealthy instant foods, to own-grown and decentrally distributed, accessible and nutritious foods.
HOW: We can do this by creating an inclusive, maybe parallel, food system that drives a sustainable marketplace (online and offline) so that individual gardeners or small-scale cooperatives and medium-sized farmers can have a systematic platform, starting in the Philippines.
Connect sustainable growers - it starts with establishing a simple system where everyone can have support either through knowledge, seedlings, marketing or exchange of ideas
Motivate new growers - encourage amateur gardeners to start with a single pot or seedling
Grow own food - this leads to individual or household-efficiency, can even be done in collaboration with a community
Share free food - if grower wishes it, they can share freely what they can. As a seed, a plant of fruits and vegetables, or even a meal...
Share knowledge - information and practical knowledge is shared from experienced growers to newbies
Sell own food - growers can directly provide healthier but lower-cost foods, for those not yet inclined to plant their own food or not able to do so
Support a circular and local economy
Growers to get fair income
