This charter is aimed at TEIKEI farms from other European regions that are part of the network or wish to become part of it.
These farms complement regional supply where it is meaningful, coherent, and collectively supported. They bring different climatic, cultural, and agricultural conditions into the network and enable a Europe-regional connection based not on anonymous long-distance supply but on relationships and responsibility.
This charter specifies the overarching Charter for the TEIKEI Farm for the context of TEIKEI farms from other European regions.
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 network's long-term orientation. This includes in particular:
The ten TEIKEI principles form the common foundation for cooperation, supply, and development across the entire 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 communal 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 based on ecological responsibility, regenerative practices, and collectively 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.
TEIKEI farms from other European regions are not seen as external providers but as part of a shared network.
They contribute to thinking about and practically connecting supply on a Europe-regional level without reverting to the logic of anonymous markets or purely functional long-distance relationships.
The role of Europe-regional farms is not to displace local or regional structures but to complement them meaningfully.
This means:
Even over greater spatial distances, relationships remain a core value.
Therefore:
For Europe-regional supply to remain sustainable, good coordination is necessary.
This includes:
This charter makes it clear that TEIKEI farms from other European regions are part of a shared supply context.
It strengthens a network understanding in which distance does not lead to anonymity but is supported by transparency, relationships, and shared responsibility.
By signing this charter, the undersigned person confirms that this charter has been read, understood, and will be supported in practical implementation.
The signature expresses the willingness to act within the TEIKEI network in accordance with the principles, responsibilities, and forms of cooperation described here and to further develop this practice together with other participants in the network.
This confirmation does not replace further agreements if these are necessary but documents the shared commitment to this charter as a binding foundation for cooperation.

If relevant, additional agreements, role descriptions, or operational arrangements can be documented separately and attached to this charter.
Future adjustments to this charter should be made transparently and, where possible, in dialogue with the affected participants in the network.
