My spark was the intimate experience – that the foods we eat, are not a source of life any more, but a cause of dependencies and disease, deteriorating the global economies.

From this insight, grew the wish to contribute to a change, in the approach to food. To rethink the production, the processing and the transport concepts, and to make food again – a source of life, health and wealth.

During the past 14 years, me and my team investigated food from every angle possible – and through a synthesis of scientific studies and practical investigation we developed a revolutionary new concept, called Diversity ON.

Diversity ON satisfies the need for highest quality foods – through a combination of local production, processing and distribution, thus reducing the carbon footprint to almost zero and ensuring food-independence for every individual.

This has become possible through re-linking, the currently fragmented food-chain, from production to consumption, into an integral local-food-chain, by combining in- and outdoor farming, with local, non-industrial processing of foods, together with an ingenious logistics system.

Underlying this chain of ‘goods-for-life’ is a Superior-Low-Resources-Technology (SLRT) that allows – producers of any scale – to contribute to food supply. Meaning, anyone can be producer and consumer simultaneously – and participate in, as well as benefit from, the distribution of goods.

The SLRT concept of Diversity ON serves to various technologies: Greenhouses and the ingenious logistic system, which is an integration of logistics and intra-logistics, into one flexible-flow-process, with automation on an individual item level.

The Greenhouses provide an energy-self-sustaining environment, for all year plant production, especially for Omega-3-rich, foliage plants, that today’s diet is severely deficient in.

The Greenhouses are by no means traditional greenhouses, but complex ‘organisms’, based on the creation of native soils, that provide for plants just like humus-rich, microbially active natural soils do, out in the field. The native soils, that are developed in the Greenhouse beds, are solely based on natural clay-sand resources and in combination with highest quality compost, create a lush microbial life, that can remain and grow healthfully in the Greenhouse for decades.
