CoFSA Food Incubator

The Conscious Food Incubator is a space for collective experimentation and learning, through prototyping and testing different approaches for cultivating inner capacities of stakeholder across food systems.

The objectives of the Conscious Food Incubator are:

  • To test and demonstrate how consciousness approaches can strengthen inner capacities that in turn help accelerate the transformation of food systems to make them more regenerative, sustainable and equitable.
  • To generate a set of learnings and learning resources – in the form case studies, training materials, trainers and partners – which can be used to scale-up the integration of consciousness-based practices and strengthening of inner capacities for food systems transformation.
