80/20 thinking - Future farming & future diet
Gardens to Bellies (Haver til Maver)
Our maindrivers
Environmental concerns
Human health & lifequality
How come human amputation to nature have gone so far?? - !
To work and develop a reconnection, solving the challenges
Aarstiderne - A box scheme
Founded in 1999 by a chef and a farmer
35.000 customers
We grow and sell Organic and Biodynamic produce, directly to endusers/ families
Healthy, enviromental and climate act, in our daily focus and operations
Future farming & future retail
Vegetableboxes, fruitboxes, mealboxes etc.
40 different boxes & mealsolutions inspiring families to eat what´s in season, more healthy and climatefriendly
Own emmision neutral Power Plant on one of the farms Quarterly emission reports since 2006 Enviromental strategy that gives the compagny and the products direction
A retailer that grows soil ”We reconnect the close links between the work of the organic farmer and the work in the kitchens – transforming the bounties of the land into feast of honest, nutritious and inspired food.”
Future farming & future diet
More raw Less cooked
More whole grains Less white
More plants Less meat
More farm Less industry
Industrial Agriculture and modern technology are not good at delivering plant productivity. But it is rather good at substituting Labour energy with fossil fuels. 9 billion workers wanted!!
Who says that´s the way forward??
We are running out of oil & soil.
The population is growing rapidly, in numbers & weight and
nature is suffering – emissions are growing.
Global situation
57 mio km2 of cultivated agricultural land We are loosing/ converting 40.000 km2 p.a. That´s round 50 NYC per year.!! Source: FAO 2000
At the same time population is growing to 9 billion in 2050 Erosion is one of the biggest challenges on the planet – How to deal with that.
Solution
One solution may be a local 80:20 thinking in a social and cultural integration model. 80 % plant output 20 % animal output A closed circuit where the consumers live close by, seeing themselves as part of the idea. This creates learning, social integration, reduced use of fossil energy and reduced CO2 emissions. The closed circuit have huge amount of positive output.
Social integration is threatened OBESITY is one of the simplest characters Lack in understanding the problem is the result

NNA 2004 Nordic nutrient recommendations
Take a farm (do I really need to say it´s Organic/Biodynamic) Connect two families per hectare = 6-8 people Grow a large number of products in a biodiverse model Make sure that in a calculated model, they maximum have an intake of 20% animal energy Let life quality be a driving factor through the social integration …The village hall is back
How to get it done
It is the social integration that are crucial
Gardens to bellies – Like 80/20 concept for kids
(social integration as main driver)
Children growing meals on a farm – they grow, harvest and cook
We conceptuated the idea and exported it to several municipalities
This year – more than 2000 kids have gardens in the concept
Evaluation shows positive learning benefits in the outdoor education. Positive learning benefits at both academic and personal level.
Moreover,
the number of the competencies they develop relates directly to school subjets as math, science,
history, gym and environmental and health education.
Unique supplement to regular school teaching.
So…
Lets integrate & recconect to nature
Lets act local and reduce foodmiles & packaging
Simply eat more plats
Reduce
THANK YOU!
