TEIKEI Agora is an ordering system for community-supported harvest shares.
The Agora marketplace enables communities to source agricultural products directly from producers.
At its core are:
Agora is not a traditional commercial enterprise.
It is a tool for coordinating community-supported supply.
Members organize through regional pickup locations.
These pickup locations help bundle harvest shares and achieve logistically efficient delivery quantities.
Orders are collected in monthly cycles. This allows for better planning of transport, storage, and distribution.
Producers, logistics, and communities form a shared supply cycle.
Each order is part of a community-supported delivery flow.
Agora primarily supports the coordination of:
This makes visible how supply is created and which responsibilities are carried at each stage.
During the development phase, TEIKEI Agora is operated as a sole proprietorship by Felix Schröder.
The terms and conditions specify that Agora operates on a non-profit and solidarity-based basis.
All revenues serve to maintain and further develop the community infrastructure.
In the long term, a Europe-wide cooperative is to be established, in which producers, logistics partners, and communities are equally involved.
The TEIKEI system operates with a transparent, solidarity-based distribution key.
The money flow serves to make the actual tasks in the supply cycle visible.
| Share | Use | Description |
|---|---|---|
| up to 70 % | Producers | Direct payment to the growers. Depending on the organizational form, this share is further divided internally, for example for cultivation, processing, or local logistics. |
| approx. 20 % | Logistics and storage | Transport, packaging, storage, intermediate stations, and regional distribution. |
| approx. 10 % | Platform and coordination | Operation, technical support, communication, system maintenance, and further development of Agora. |
There is no profit extraction.
Surpluses are reinvested into the community infrastructure.
Agora supports the development of a Europe-regional supply structure.
This structure should:
Agora sees itself as a complement to the existing market.
It opens a path to collectively support basic food supplies with producers and build new connections between agriculture, logistics, and civil society.
Decisions are not made solely centrally.
They emerge through feedback between:
This feedback is important because supply is not only planned digitally.
It is carried, reviewed, adapted, and further developed on-site.
TEIKEI sees itself as part of a larger movement toward a regenerative, community-based economy.
Agora connects people, farms, and places.
It shows that supply, trust, and responsibility can be reorganized.
With every pickup location, every order, and every shared decision, a piece of community-supported supply grows.
