The day after

Yesterday morning we got back to the Netherlands, after one month of travelling. One month of incredibly many impressions from 10 different cities and 5 different countries. We got on 28 different trains, have been in trains for a total of 108 hours ...

How sustainable is a world without organic food?

So here we are in Oslo, the day before going home. Tomorrow morning, at the cracks of dawn, we will take the train to Amsterdam. It will be a journey of about 30 hours. And right now, on our very last day, we’re not sightseeing but we’re trying ...

Sustainable Oslo?

Today we’re leaving Sweden. We’re going to the very last stop of our trip; Oslo. The capital of Norway declared itself a ‘sustainable city’ a few years ago, and won the European Sustainable City Award in 2003, and it reached the finals again ...

Biodynamic farming

Today we went to a farm in Järna. It wasn’t just a normal farm, it was a combination between an organic and biodynamic farm. Conventional farming destroys the soil of a farm and organic farming leaves the soil the way it is while biodynamic ...

Supermarket Comparison

Like I said in my last blog, Järna in Sweden is probably the most organic town that exists on this world. Lots of products are local. In fact, as I’m writing this, I’m eating local organic strawberry-ice (it’s delicious, you should be jealous ...

Paradise on earth

Imagine this. After a long day of travelling, about 14 hours, you arrive at a place near Stockholm in the middle of nowhere. Only to find out that evening that this small community is the centre of sustainability, of social entrepreneurship and ...

The ‘Body Shop Boycott’

I want to start of this blog by saying that I like the Body Shop. They have great organic products, and even though they’re a bit expensive, I really like it. There are some people, however, saying that we should stop buying products at the ...

Tragedy of the Commons

Today Petra wrote about ‘eating now, paying later’ (http://itspetravanderkooij.waarbenjij.nu). Basically, what she said is that if we don’t eat organic food now we have to pay for the consequences later, whereas by paying a little more for ...

Quotes

For today, I've looked up some quotes about food: "High-tech tomatoes. Mysterious milk. Supersquash. Are we supposed to eat this stuff? Or is it going to eat us?" ~Annita Manning "Chemicals, n: Noxious substances from which modern foods ...

The journey of your food

Ok, so you did it, you bought organic food, well done! Because of you the world is slowly starting to be a better place. But hang on, where did you say your bananas came from? Brazil? So how did they get to Holland then? Let me just explain that ...

"Where can I buy organic food?"

Today, at the hostel, I asked someone what the one thing was that he wanted to know about organic food. His answer? “I want to know where I can buy it, like what stores, and when food is qualified as organic food.” So I’ll start with the ...

Future of our Food

Today’s society is all about being healthy, in any way. Doing a sport is important, eating enough fruit is a must, not eating too much food is important, eating the right kinds of fat is something everybody should know about… And so on. Being ...

Wasting water in Italy

Just imagine this. You’re walking through Venice in the hot sun, it’s about 35 degrees Celsius. You’d kill just to drink some water. Not just at that specific moment, but at any given time during the day. Then, like a dream, you see a small ...

Cultural differences

The one thing that has caught my attention the most in the past few weeks is a cultural difference when it comes to food. I have a soft allergy for milk, so whenever I buy a sandwich or a pizza I ask if there's any milk in it. In the Netherlands ...

A transition

Yesterday I wrote a blog about the price of fruit. In that blog I wondered how it is possible that some fruit is very cheap, like the fruit we bought yesterday, and why some fruit is very expensive, like organic food in the Netherlands. Because ...

Price differences

Today we went to a little store to buy some fruit. We bought a lot of grapes, an apple and a plum. Normally, in the Netherlands, you would pay about 3 or 4 euros for this, so that’s what we were expecting here too. However, we only spent ...

It's Alive Travel - Europareis

This summer I’ll be travelling through Europe for Nature & More, a brand created by Eosta. By selling organic fruit and vegetables they try to create more transparancy. On the 24th of July I will leave Amsterdam for a month to find out whether international consumers and supermarkets know anything about the effect of their fruit and vegetables on the world.
