Phood is a green-minded urban farm and social enterprise with impressive ambitions focusing on optimizing ecological and social impact, as its website outlines.
Based in Eindhoven, in the southern region of the Netherlands, the Phood Community Farming project, which started life as a food truck serving nutritious meals, today cultivates healthy produce sustainably, and simultaneously helps individuals facing challenges in society. It does this by equipping them with the tools needed to "navigate adversity" and even turn it into something positive. This dual purpose is detailed in an article on Phood's journey on the website of the Rabo Foundation. This supporter is working to drive positive social, economic, and ecological change for a fair and sustainable society.
Phood's social change remit is also brought out by the Hactivist Guide. In its words: "The organization's philosophy focuses on restoring connections between the city, nature and people. They aim to transform food production from a service offer to a platform for personal engagement." It underlines how Phood focuses on accessible community education, and on the shift in perspective gained by the experience of working with nature.
As they farm and harvest seasonal vegetables, fruits, and flowers outdoors and indoors at its 1.5-acre plot, Phood believes that local participants are also playing their part in a sustainable and more social future.
