While the majority of Demeter farms are actually craft businesses, the economic situation is developing in the direction of increasingly large-scale industrial production under the pressure of large distributors. In order to avoid being overrun by this steamroller, it is possible to found a new movement, similar to the organic movement, whose members consciously and consistently orient themselves to the consumption of non-industrial, handcrafted, individualized products together with all craftsmen in the world, the bread from the baker, the plate from the potter, the table from the carpenter, the shoe from the shoemaker, etc.
In this Open Space, existing ideas will be collected and future actions will be discussed.
Please watch this video and read this document in preparation for the Open Space.
