What are our Objectives?

To promote balanced and healthy lifestyles for all ages.
To promote responsible use of chemicals and ethical breeding of animals for food production.
To promote permaculture principles and organic food gardens in homes, institutions and micro enterprises.

Why?

In the developed world we have become fixated on technology, speed and personal gain. This is often at the expense of creativity, indigenous culture and a balanced life. The result is often illness, depression or alienation.
Our food is laced with chemicals, colorants and pesticides all of which cumulatively are detrimental to health.
Our diets are poor, processed and fast.
Lack of exercise, overweight and high sugar intake are contributing to a rapid increase in lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes and cancer,
We tolerate unhealthy and inhumane practices in agriculture and food production.

How do we address this?
