ABOUT US

Foodtopia is a “project of resilient local economy” which combines agricultural production, food processing and distribution of food in the geography of a neighborhood; with the aim of reducing in a half the current price of food and its direct and indirect side effects, through a drastic reduction of energy consumption throughout the food production chain.

We are eating oil

The way we produce and consume food generates more than 380 million kg/day of CO2. Why to move lettuces from south to north Europe? Why to wrap everything up in multiple plastic packaging? Dependence on oil can be reduced by local production of food, applying a different logistics and DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY.

Social Crisis

Inequality has been a problem in the history of mankind, despite their declared values of freedom and "JUSTICE FOR ALL". While social progress in the last 60 years, in theory, has brought political emancipation and legal protections for almost everyone. In practice, there is a permanent inequality of economic, social and political power.

Energy Crisis

The era of easy fossil fuels is over. Renewable energy is a real, though imperfect alternative because it would take decades and many billions of Euros. The greatest threat to mankind is CLIMATE; and the decrease in the amount of energy at affordable price can create a great environmental, economic and social impact.

Economic Crisis

National, global and local economies are structured to sustained growth. However in 2008, we reached the end of economic growth as we knew it. The economic recovery in the US and Europe has failed. a post-growth economic system is needed. The welfare state is finished. The PARTICIPATIVE ECONOMY must be assembled.

Ecological crisis

The last 60 years of exponential growth of the economy and population, have resulted in severe loss of topsoil, freshwater depletion, loss of biodiversity and climate change. The "ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT" of humanity is now larger than what the planet can sustainably manage. We have crossed the limits.

The issue of meat/fish

For climatic, health, energy, social… reasons. The ideal % of animal protein in the diet should be "zero". If we need 2500 Kcal daily, no more than (40 gr) should be meat protein or derivates; but we eat four times more. "Integral vegetable diet" Dr. Campbell (The China Study). "PROTEIN IS NOT MEAT": the protein is throughout the whole plant kingdomhttp://foodtopia.eu/archivos/746

CHANGE OF MODEL IN THE FOOD SYSTEM

“Food” is an essential and universal good, yet to democratize, and “real generator” of social exclusion. We want to transform a world in which 60% of health pathologies depend on the low quality of food intake, resulting in an unsustainable health care expenditure. Food accounts for 40% of climatic anomalies and 30% of world consumption of energy, mostly fossil.
