Win-Win-Winner: introducing the crowdfarming bright idea
CREATIVITY, INTEGRITY, RESPONSIBILITY: THE KEYS TO OUR NEW KINGDOM
Listen
Intro by Steve Cook
As our civilisation struggles in the grip of corporate crooks and political dimwits, our salvation lies in the emergence of bright, honest, industrious people with new, creative ideas.
In life, we wind up with what we validate and invest energy in so it is therefore the duty of each of us to help such people and share their initiatives so that change evolves from the grass roots of our human community instead of being forced on us by the aforementioned crooks and dimwits.
Creativity, integrity, responsibility are the keys to our new kingdom.
With that in mind, here is one such bright initiative whereby farmers cut out the parasitic middlemen and sell direct to the consumer.
I’ve quoted below a couple of sections from a page of their website and to learn more and be inspired please take a tour of their website here
Win-Win-Winner
Our economic model is based on a formula that we’ve dubbed “Win-Win-Winner”: it’s good for the farmer, it’s good for society, and together we can improve the environment. We want to firmly link our economic profitability to our social and environmental impact goals.
This idyllic-sounding vision is a reality that works in the following way: the more the farmers sell, the lower the environmental impact of an order. If a farmer sells just one order, the transport cost and the environmental cost will be high. If a farmer sells one thousand orders, we’ll be able to cut the transport cost and reduce the unitary environmental impact by optimizing routes and maximizing freight spaces.
Multi-local mindset versus globalisation
We foster an agricultural market that guarantees respect for local practices and traditions. We support an inclusive culture that favours social and cultural exchanges, seeking not to impose global, but multi-local solutions.
What does this mean? It means there’s no one-size-fits-all formula. We want to understand, integrate, and love the idiosyncrasies of each market where CrowdFarming farmers produce their crops. We foster an agricultural market that guarantees respect for local practices and traditions. We support an inclusive culture that favours social and cultural exchanges, seeking not to impose global, but multi-local solutions.
There are lots of bright ideas out there
So lets get busy sharing supporting and implementing them.
If you have or know of a bright idea that will help the rise of the human community, please let me know about it.
Maybe I can feature it on UK Reloaded and elsewhere.
