Nouvelles & communiqués

Hi, I am Mahmoud El Shishiny. We produce organic oranges and other citrus fruits in Egypt for Nature & More. We are certified organic since 1999. We also grow biodynamic (Demeter) products!

Phyllis Mugo (40), a single mother of four children, works in the warehouse of Mavuno in Nairobi, where she packs avocados into boxes. She lives in a single-room house with her four children and feels that she is neither prosperous nor poor. Her wage enables her to pay her rent, food bill and school fees, but then there is very little left over. However, since this Spring she has had two new dreams: opening a grocery store and buying a plot of land where she can build her own home. This is because she recently started receiving a real Living Wage.

The Netherlands is far behind the European ambitions for organic farming (25% by 2030) and the European obligation for sustainable impact reporting (incrementally from 2025). The government seems paralyzed. That is why sustainable frontrunners like Vivera, Eosta, Hak, Udea, Odin, Tradin and Yumeko, together with interest groups like Urgenda, Bionext and Caring Farmers are now joining forces in the Robin Food Coalition. This coalition of sustainable SMB companies wants to use joint impact reporting and disruptive campaigns to start a breakthrough for healthy, social, nature-inclusive agriculture. Almost all of green food and agriculture was present Tuesday 18th April at the launch at Eosta in Waddinxveen.

Update Organic Citrus Overseas

Hi my name is Lilian from Uganda where we run a large biodynamic, family owned business.  In recent years fresh ginger has become very popular. In China it’s traditionally considered a very healthy spice, increasing the “chi” or life energy. That’s why we call it a Health Wonder.
