The movement

Actors are system-relevant partners within the network, for example operators of logistics systems, olive presses, cleaning facilities or coordination points for producers – they keep the routes between farm and community open and reliable.

The inner circle or “Council of Synergies” consists of people who carry the strategic, organisational and cultural principles and ensure continuity and responsibility. They make sure decisions are taken in line with our values.

The TEIKEI Agora is the digital space where orders, pick-ups and network processes are managed.

Logistics partners make sure products travel safely, ecologically and efficiently from producers to communities.

Harvest sharers are individuals or households who receive harvest shares or single orders through a community and help shape the network through their engagement.

Enablers contribute in many ways – by providing storage space, funding, creative projects or direct support.

Partners contribute expertise, infrastructure or networks and support TEIKEI in spirit and in structure.

Primary suppliers bundle products regionally, take on central supply structures and support the recursive network economy.

Producers grow products according to TEIKEI standards, mostly organic or regenerative, and create closeness and trust through transparent production.

TEIKEI projects such as TEIKEI Olive, TEIKEI Obst, TEIKEI Logistics, TEIKEI Bulk, the Agora and the CSTLAB work on community-supported supply and infrastructure.

Providers support TEIKEI with services or materials the network cannot yet provide itself.

TEIKEI ambassadors spread the TEIKEI idea, build new communities and accompany producers and participants as they join the network.

In TEIKEI communities, the basic supply of food is organised together – rooted in the region and in solidarity. Any structure can take part: households and harvest sharers as well as shops and member-run stores, farm projects and CSAs, businesses, kitchens and initiatives.

Organisers look after the local TEIKEI communities and keep the structure on site alive – they stay in touch with the harvest sharers, organise pick-up and exchange and are the first point of contact in their region.

TEIKEI support, coordination and the country stewards secure cooperation across regions and help everyone who uses the TEIKEI Agora.

The business alliance brings together resellers and initiatives that distribute in solidarity and carry the TEIKEI values.
