TEIKEI is a civil society movement and network structure for community-based food supply in Europe. At its core is the development of relationships and supply structures that directly connect producers, organizers, and members. The goal is to create a transparent, fair, and long-term regenerative form of supply that is not oriented toward anonymous market logic but rather toward communal responsibility, predictability, and mutual support.
TEIKEI views food not merely as a commodity but as part of a collectively maintained supply architecture. The initiative links agricultural operations, ordering communities, logistics, digital infrastructure, and communal coordination into a network that strengthens local supply while also enabling Europe-wide regional complementarity.
This is not just about the distribution of food but about developing an alternative economic model—one that treats soil, water, energy, labor, and relationships more fairly. Transparency, traceability, fair pricing, and long-term bonds between farms and members are central components of this approach.
TEIKEI is currently developing concrete impact goals to more clearly describe and gradually measure its own social, ecological, and economic impact in the future. The focus is not only on how food is distributed but also on what changes arise for producers, members, communities, and ecological systems as a result.
These impact goals are in planning. They are part of a future developmental stage of TEIKEI in Europe and will be refined alongside the further expansion of organizational and digital infrastructure.
TEIKEI aims to contribute to the establishment and strengthening of collectively maintained supply structures. People should not only receive food but become part of resilient relationships in which responsibility, transparency, and participation are shared.
Planned social impact goals include:
TEIKEI pursues the goal of connecting agriculture and supply in a way that promotes ecological regeneration and reduces burdens. This is not just about individual products but about the impact of entire supply and relationship structures.
Planned ecological impact goals include:
A central concern of TEIKEI is to make economic relationships fairer and more sustainable. Agricultural operations should gain more predictability, stability, and a fairer share of value creation. At the same time, members should be able to understand how prices are formed and where financial flows go.
Planned economic impact goals include:
The future measurement of these impacts is intended to take place via the Agora. It is being developed as an organizational and digital infrastructure to consolidate, evaluate, and present relevant data from the network in an understandable form.
The Agora is thus intended not only to coordinate orders, delivery quantities, and relationships but also to serve as an evaluation and reference space for the network’s impact. Prospectively, key figures should become visible there that demonstrate and help substantiate the positive impact of the network.
These are expected to include social, ecological, and economic indicators such as:
The evaluations from the Agora are intended to serve as a reference in the future to illustrate the contribution that community-based networking can make to a regenerative and fairer food supply.
The development of such an impact model is itself part of the foundational work. For TEIKEI to not only describe these impacts but also present them reliably, further organizational, technical, and financial development steps are required.
The impact goals are therefore deliberately formulated as a future task. To systematically map, evaluate, and further develop them in the Agora, resources are needed to enable this next step. Only then can the intended impact of the network in Europe be documented in a traceable manner and communicated clearly to the outside world.
TEIKEI does not view impact as a purely abstract metric but as an expression of a new supply architecture. The decisive factor is whether it succeeds in combining social responsibility, ecological regeneration, and economic sustainability within a shared structure.
The planned impact goals are therefore not only intended to provide numbers but to make visible that networking itself can unleash a positive force—for producers, for members, for regions, and for the development of a future-proof food supply in Europe.
