After four successful and inspiring meetings, here we come together to reflect on what has already been realised within the networks around vital soils, plants, animals, life-sustaining food and people in realising regional, regenerative food systems.

We invite networks to join and we present a plan of action for what lies ahead. We will tell the story of the Vital Food Community, combined with international speakers: Dan Kittredge (Bionutrient Association), John D. Lui (documentary filmmaker/ ecosystem recovery camps), and Rineke Dijkinga (Lecture on the health of the earth's soil and our own 'soil', namely our intestines).

We will show what we stand for and what we are capable of. In a short time and without external funding, we have been able to build an inspiring community and put down our ambition.

This event marks the start of the activation phase of the network, where intrinsically motivated parties can join the next steps (based on transparency and trust). For us, scientific knowledge and experiential knowledge are equally important, both will be brought into focus and practice in the following workshops (two rounds):
