Virtual EATS

YOU CAUSE GLOBAL WELL BEING.

The way we live now there are winners and losers. So, we compete for well being. The Active Citizen Project (ACP) believes well being is not a prize to be won through competition nor a privilege bestowed upon a few. Well being is something we all should be able to achieve.

ACP creates models for social actions we can all use to improve our mutual well being.

EATS is ACP's flagship project. EATS are community-operated farms and food distribution systems. They are being created so urban neighborhoods can grow fresh, healthy, nutritious food that everyone can eat regardless of their income or personal circumstances.

EATS farm sites are launched with resources a community already has (vacant lots, community gardens and rooftops). They are developed with the resources (knowledge, experience, ideas and social investments) all of us share online and in the community. EATS farm sites supplement and provide food the community needs. The community distributes the food to itself at a price (co-ops, resource swaps, community currency and etc.) that makes it possible for everyone to eat healthy.

EATS goal is to make community-grown food commonplace and affordable by:

  • Increasing the supply and affordability of healthy food by growing fruit and vegetables where they are consumed;

  • Using farming techniques that produce high yields of food in small spaces; and by

  • Creating art & media that ties the benefits of food production and healthy eating to the community�s cultural traditions and well being.

    GROW a good meal on EATS and plant well being one community at a time because everyone should be able to eat fresh, healthy, nutritious food.

    Also at ACP, you can CREATE new public thoughts, ideas and solutions that improve how we live.

    START New Politics where success is measured by well being. The People�s Platform uses media as a form of political power. It gives people a way to have a seat at the table in public debates and policy decisions. The People�s Platform starts with a TWiST (The Way I See iT). What you say helps shape the People�s Platform of priorities and solutions for the next national Election. Start New Politics with the 2010 and 2012 elections and partake in a zero-party political approach to creating global well being

    QuASU at ACP. is Questions and Answers from All of Us on the things that help us shape a world where everyone�s well being is important and achieved. Right now, you can SHARE your knowledge, experience, ideas and other resources to make EATS farm sites grow and flourish this spring. Growing food 1 community at a time spreads well being everywhere.
