Bike of Bees: laying a strong foundation

Following an open Call for Participation for the Bike of Bees, 25 change-makers from nine countries in Europe convened over three days on a farm outside Berlin.

In our midst in Berlin were dieticians, doctors, policy-makers, climate change campaigners, animal welfare and food equity activists, funders, farmers, artivists, united by a single demand: healthy, just and sustainable food environments, starting with rebalancing animal-sourced foods. The meeting was an amazing, bonding and nurturing inaugural event, laying a strong foundation for the ways of working together to strengthen the Healthy Food Healthy Planet Hive.

Because together our impact is more powerful and inevitable is part of our newly found purpose.

Validating once more that we can only address this enormous challenge together, civil society and funders alike – locally, nationally, regionally and globally.

Our pathway to plant the future

A few excerpts from our spoken word artist, who summarised each day in a poem orated around the camp fire.

Orating poems around the campfire to summarise the day

We are inspired by the gaps between what is, and what could be! Shared goals arise from many journeys; our sources of inspiration vary as widely as our sectors. Inspiration around this fire has come from activists, nutritionists, philosophers and family members who showed us different ways of being. We are the weavers, working against the fragmentation inherent to the world we live in. Many threads of justice, health, and sustainability are being woven together here, under blue skies and local bird life.

And we end with gratitude — for the future we’re building together, dear listeners, for the future we’re building together.

Many of the concepts the group co-created and recommended for the ways of working have been incorporated into the new website: 

1. The Communities of Practice around each lever (retail, finance and sub-national action)

2. The proposed participatory grant making model, creating the perfect marriage between the movement building and pooled fund

3. The self-organising way of governance, inspired by holacracy.
