Fermentation - Preserving food by livening it up

Speakers: Scholtyssek, Gregor (Permakultur Institut e.V.)

We show how everyone can easily ferment at home with very basic means and thus preserve foods and drinks while at the same livening them up and making them healthier and sparkly. We introduce underlying patterns (such as various microorganisms and processes) and present the manifold possibilities: From sauerkraut to kimchi, from kombucha to beer, from cheese to tempeh. There is going to be some good stuﬀ to taste.Event takes place at the Permaculture CampSpace.

Die Bewohner der Erde schlafen ruhig. Sie begreifen nicht, wie sehr das, was sie für den festen Rahmen ihrer Existenz halten, ins Taumeln geraten ist. „Kosmokoloss“ zielt auf diese Kluft zwischen der Größe der Krise und der Fähigkeit der Menschen, sie wahrzunehmen, zu fühlen und zu verstehen. Rasch entsteht auf der Bühne des Theaters die Welt des „Anthropozän“, einer Welt, deren profanes Ende durch bunte PowerPoint-Präsentationen verkündet wird.

Business and growth - what does a degrowth company look like? Speakers: Niessen, Jonathan, Posse, Dirk

The discussion about degrowth is basically focusing on the political perspective at the macro level and on the individual perspective at the micro level (buen vivir). The role of businesses has more or less been neglected. To bridge that gap, the workshop wants to open a forum of discussion and thereby aims to foster the exchange of business concepts beyond growth.

No matter who we are, we all share the need for food. Looking at the way food is produced, treated and distributed, deﬁciencies become obvious. Considering the interdependencies of our food system, the panel discusses how a decentralized degrowth society can supply for this existential need. How can we ensure food sovereignty without violating humans or nature? What could a food system look like which contributes to the “good life for all” rather than the economic growth of food companies and agrobusiness? Prepared by FoE Germany and INKOTA.
