¶ TEIKEI Logistics
TEIKEI Logistics is the project for establishing fair, transparent, and future-proof logistics within the TEIKEI network.
This page serves as the entry point to the TEIKEI Logistics section. Here, you will find contributions describing how products are moved, distributed, consolidated, and further developed within the network—nationally, across European regions, and along various logistical hubs.
¶ What this section is about
At TEIKEI, logistics is not merely transport from A to B.
It is part of the shared infrastructure and thus a crucial area for addressing how production, supply, and responsibility are practically interconnected.
TEIKEI Logistics works to shape goods flows in ways that are:
- transparently traceable
- considerate of the needs of farms and communities
- not based on hidden dependencies
- adaptable and open to further development
- compatible with the principles of a community-driven economy
¶ What sets TEIKEI Logistics apart
TEIKEI Logistics is not a traditional logistics company but a project within the network.
It combines operational logistics with structural development. This means it is not only about organizing existing transports but also about building new forms of distribution, identifying weaknesses, and developing sustainable solutions for different regions.
This includes, among other things:
- international goods flows
- national distribution within individual countries
- transitions between collection warehouses, distribution warehouses, and communities
- pricing and responsibility logics in logistics
- questions of transparency, traceability, and stability
- building resilient structures for the future
¶ Why this section is important
The quality of a network is not only evident on the farm but also in how products are carried forward.
If logistics is organized in an opaque, unilaterally dependent, or purely cost-driven manner, the entire network comes under pressure. If, on the other hand, it is built in a clear, fair, and community-sustainable way, it strengthens farms, communities, and trust in the entire structure.
TEIKEI Logistics is therefore a key area for the practical implementation of TEIKEI principles.
¶ What is collected here
This page compiles contributions on various logistical levels and topics.
This includes in particular:
¶ National Distribution
Contributions on organizing distribution within individual countries, for example:
- CH: National Distribution
- DE: National Distribution
¶ International Logistics
Contributions on cross-border goods flows, international transitions, customs or routing issues, and the connection of different national structures.
¶ Fundamental Logistics Questions
Contributions on infrastructure, responsibility logic, pricing, transparency, collection warehouses, distribution warehouses, and other central questions of community-driven logistics.
¶ TEIKEI Logistics as a space for learning and development
This section is not only intended for finished solutions.
TEIKEI Logistics is also a space where practical learnings are made visible. Conflicts, frictions, infrastructure questions, and new solution approaches are explicitly part of it.
This way, logistics can not only be executed but also collectively understood and further developed.
¶ Connection to other areas
TEIKEI Logistics is closely linked to many other parts of the network, particularly to:
- producers and farms
- collection and distribution warehouses
- primary suppliers
- support & coordination
- communities and organizers
- commitments and principles of collaboration
This page should therefore not be viewed in isolation but as part of a larger framework of supply, relationships, and responsibility.
¶ The ten TEIKEI principles as a foundation
TEIKEI Logistics is also based on the shared foundation of the ten TEIKEI principles.
Especially in logistics, these principles become particularly concrete: in pricing, in the acceptance of harvests, in mutual support, in appropriate group sizes, and in the continuous development of shared structures.
¶ Subpages in this section
From here, you can access the individual contributions within TEIKEI Logistics.
Currently, these include, among others:
- CH: National Distribution
- DE: National Distribution
- International Logistics
Over time, additional pages may be added, such as on collection warehouses, distribution warehouses, routes, reusable systems, pricing logics, or new regional distribution models.
¶ Purpose of this page
This page provides a shared entry point to the TEIKEI Logistics project area.
It helps to:
- better understand the role of logistics in the network
- consolidate existing contributions
- bring together national and international distribution questions
- and make the further development of community-driven logistics visible
Step by step, a section is created where logistics is understood not just as transport but as part of a new infrastructure for supply.
