This charter is aimed at distribution hubs that are part of the TEIKEI network or wish to become part of it.
Distribution hubs are central locations for redistribution. They take responsibility for ensuring that products are passed on to communities, pickup points, or other structures in an orderly, traceable manner and in good quality.
This charter specifies the overarching Charter for Actors in the TEIKEI Network for the context of distribution hubs.
This charter does not stand alone.
It is based on the TEIKEI Manifesto 2030 and the ten TEIKEI principles.
The TEIKEI Manifesto 2030 describes the long-term orientation of the network. This includes in particular:
The ten TEIKEI principles form the common foundation for cooperation, supply, and development throughout the network. These include:
This charter translates this common foundation into the concrete practice of the respective role within the network.
This means:
The structures, decisions, and processes described here must not be considered or implemented in isolation from the ecological, social, and community goals of the TEIKEI Manifesto and the ten TEIKEI principles.
Even where a role is not directly involved in agricultural production, it remains part of a system built on ecological responsibility, regenerative practices, and community-supported supply.
This results in:
The roles, tasks, and attitudes described in this charter can only be fully understood in the context of this common foundation.
Therefore:
The TEIKEI Manifesto 2030 and the ten TEIKEI principles are not an optional background but a common foundation that must be read, understood, and supported in practice by all participants.
A distribution hub is a node between supraregional delivery and regional redistribution.
It ensures that:
The role of distribution hubs includes:
Distribution hubs should not only function but also operate transparently.
Therefore, it is important to:
Distribution hubs operate at a sensitive threshold of supply.
Therefore:
The goal of this charter is to make distribution hubs visible as a supporting component of a community-supported supply system.
It provides guidance on how redistribution can be organized so that quality, overview, transparency, and responsibility are maintained.
