REALFOOD ON BOARD AGAIN:

We're all about Community Supporting itself, eachother, the projects, the ideas and here's one worth giving a good follow up!

Hi All---

Only a few more sleeps and our...

That's right, folks! Everyone's favourite Electroswing Permaculture Ukulele show: Formidable Vegetable Sound System is heading north for three final Australian shows in Kuranda, Cairns and Yungaburra before touring the world for the next 8 months to Glastonbury Festival and beyond!

Much has happened since the very first gig at Eclipse 2012 Festival and the debut alb...

For you and your Networks: News from the region, thoughts about our 3rd Aniversary Gift to the Community with the Community.

Thank you RealFoodies!

Thank you for all your support over the last 3 years. That’s right. Three years. This coming Thursday, 8 November 2012, will be the 156th uninterrupted weekly delivery of the RealFood Network Programme. Of course, this has been a big effort and a joint effort. Starting with the Redlynch State College P&C Association, who...

Where is our power? With nearly all aspects of our lives being prescriptive, do we have any power at all?

There is one area where we not only retain power, but where our power is sovereign. That is our purchasing power - and equally our power NOT to purchase. Even here – our power is eroding in some significant areas, such as insurance, health care (a misnomer in my view) and politics.

We can still choose what we eat. Our purchase, or ...

Another FAQ.Moral Energy. What is it? I used this term last week in thanking all those who have continuously emailed messages of support for the RealFood Network Programme. Now people are asking “what do you mean by ‘moral energy?’” “And how is it that ‘so many folks in our region are trying to grab hold of that very powerful force?’” “Why do you say it is a ’very powerful force?’”

Perhaps this is mo...

Women are doing it again. This is the most important part of this box note. So please pay attention and do a little research please. A ‘white paper’ concerning the future of Australian agriculture was recently released in Canberra. You can find it on the Aus Government website. I’ll have a link next week. The bottom line was very disturbing to me. The authors contend that if Australia hopes to feed the world in the future, we must embrace “the most modern growing techn...

From 2nd October (Gandhi’s Birth Anniversary), to 16th October (World Food Day) the Global Alliance for Seed Freedom is planning intensive actions to create a global citizens’ response on the issue of Seed Freedom. Seed corporations like Monsanto, Aventis, Du Pont, Bayer and Syngenta are trying to convince u...

Another FAQ. Last week we related how we answer a lot of questions about what we do. We are very pleased to do this. It is how we spread the word. And last week I quoted from a written answer to the question “Is RealFood Network creating Wealth & Employment.” I hope you enjoyed the answer. Thought provoking question. And answer – I hope. I got quite a few positive responses, so thought another FAQ would be fun. Here’s another o...

Does RealFood Network create Employment and Wealth? As one might imagine, we get asked lots of questions all the time. That is great. Doing what we do and answering these questions is the only way we will catalyse change in consumptive behaviour. Recently, we were asked to fill out a form, including a response to the above question. We thought subscribers might find it interesting.

Is health wea...

You may have seen the “people's supermarket” series on the boobtube as of late. Most of us have all have seen or heard about this unique new concept where the community actually takes responsibility for the success or failure of an entire Supermarket. “Well, how about we try that out in Cairns, uncle Sjoerd?” Allister said.
