Become a Food movement Steward, and save the nation!

Become a Steward in making this vision a reality: "What we need are self-organizing , self-sustaining grass-roots food movements if we wish to save this nation from bad food" Dr Charles Massy, OAM, leading thinker on food and farming systems, 2017.

.

Why?

We need to save this nation from bad food. In the USA, 65% of kids suffer from chronic illness.

We have the 

  • same farming conditions (Govt. and BigAg favours industrial farming over chem-free, GMO-free, NBT-free, nutrient dense 'regenerative' farming) 
  • same supply chain conditions - produce picked too early (not yet ripe, tasteless, low in nutrient density) to travel many food miles (food times travelled  16 000 kms in 2016 (Ceres Report), now  average 70 000 kms according to AI.
  • same eating habits as the USA (debatable).

Very little info was provided to the Australian public about the PLU sticker?

What?

Traditionally we relied on taste to guide us to what our body needed for sustenance.  Now, with all the chems in the ground, on the produce, all the colourants, preservatives and flavourants in processed food, who knows what we are eating? 

Between 2010 and 2019, many supermarket tomatoes averaged 3.5% BRIX or nutrient density - why they were so tasteless.  Now they average about 7.5 BRIX because of a genetic modification, called NBT, raising the sugar levels only, no other nutrients. Taste how sweet they and other produce are!. We picked this up in 2023 when prototyping the Nx. We had been told by US food scientists in 2020 that this was coming, now confirmed by independent Aussie Food Scientists..

Who?

You are what you eat, whether you like it or not. 

Our food quality and nutrient intake is so low that many use wellness supplements - another chemical going into your body? and unregulated in Australia.

In many cases, produce high in nutrient density delivers better Value for Money (VMI = Value for Money Index) as in the Tomato case. Cheapest is not always the best.

Where?

Anywhere, everywhere food is eaten. 

Obviously distance is a factor in setting up local food communities. 

When?

Now. People eat every day. Most do anyway. 

How?

  • For any food movement to grow it must have wheels. 
  • FGF is a NFP (not For Profit) PMA organisation, an online Farmers Market, which uses BRIX meters, Nutrimeters, etc, so you can check what you are buying when it arrives.   . 
  • We had some 103 000 Providores listed all over Australia before COVID, but no sure how many have survived. But a good base to start your selling.
  • Developed since 2016, the FGF website was launched in 2019, but quickly shit down by COVID lockdowns.
  • It was developed on a Windows / Web platform, with Mobile apps, but is now being redeveloped specifically for mobile apps, with Web capabilities. 
  • FGF subs range from "Free" for certain consumers to $50pm for a large Providores (Farmer, Grower, Producer and/or Food outlets (e.g. Cafe's) and stores with high volumes of sales going through.
  • NBS tools : prices as listed in the Nutrimeter website and Shopping cart system.


Your rewards for building your own food community are :

  • A % of FGF subs sold, in perpetuity. It is important that you keep your customers / community satisfied, so subs roll on and on in perpetuity, ever increasing. 
  • A % of NBS tools and services sold. e.g if you sold a Ni (our first NutriMeter refractometer) for $40, you earn $10.   If you sell the latest Nx (spectrometer) for $400, you earn $100.


FindGoodFood (FGF) subscriptions range 

  • Consumers from $5pm to $20pm - 3 levels - depending on the sophistication of  their needs.
  • Providores (Farmers, Market Gardeners, Growers, Home Growers, Producers and those who support local food - chef's, fresh produce stores, etc.). from $15 to $40pm - 4 levels, includes lists of outlets for produce.
  • Both Consumers and Providores have their own secure "mini-websites" to manage themselves, giving them total control of their own info, data, selection parameters, etc..


Nutri-Balance Systems (NBS) provides 

  • services for measuring carbon content (see also blog), nutrient values
  • low cost, hand-held tools such as NutriMeters, NutriScales, etc.
  • NutriScales (Patented 2008) allowed fast and easy entry of food eaten to measure, chart, etc. of one's Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) as per our NHMRC, using food data supplied by FSANZ of the 37 "essential" prescribed at that time. 
  • In FGF apps about to be re-released in 2026, we advocate RNI "Spot Checks" for you and/your household for the 51 "essential' nutrients recommended by NHMRC today.
