A producer grows food or other goods and makes them available to communities or the TEIKEI network.
Producers build on what breeding and seed production provide: seeds, planting material, animals, and crops. This is the root of every supply landscape. Producers operate independently and decide for themselves how their products are distributed.
Producers can include, among others:
What matters is not the size or organizational form of the operation, but that food or other goods are made available for community supply.
Producers decide for themselves:
They remain independent and enter into long-term relationships with communities and partners.
Depending on the region, product, and organizational form, food can be distributed through various channels.
Possible channels include, for example:
The TEIKEI network does not prescribe a fixed flow of goods. It provides different supply channels that can be used according to regional conditions.
In the TEIKEI network, producers and communities are not in an anonymous market relationship.
They develop long-term partnerships and jointly shape regional supply.
This creates stable relationships between production, processing, logistics, and communities.
Producers grow food and decide for themselves through which supply channels their products reach communities and regions.
