Food
FOOD is an essential part of everyone’s lives. Its nutrients offer the energy to grow and develop the body and mind. Good nutrition is health, it allows us to move, think, and learn. While there are plenty of foods around us, many don’t know the importance of local, fresh, organic produce and their benefits. The ‘We Love F.A.M.E. Team’ believe « you are what you eat » food is medicine; we are standing up for a conscious alimentation respectful of our planet. The world produces enough food, but its distribution is unfair. Every five seconds a child dies of malnutrition, and over 800 million people will go to bed hungry tonight. We assert that permaculture, sustainable growing, and healthy recipes can end starvation, malnutrition and disease. This is why the ‘We Love F.A.M.E. Team’ is promoting food awareness within our community. We are HUNGRY for change.
Growing
Barbados is still very dependent on food coming from overseas. We feel it is important to support all the local initiatives that are promoting food growing especially the permaculture initiatives. Our partner Slow Food has started education gardens to reconnect children with food.
Preparing
It is a pleasure to select organically grown ingredients to prepare a wholesome and healthy meal. Local farmers have food items made with love, share in this love by sourcing your ingredients from them. Now it is time for you to be creative and make a meal or drink. If you want to be inspired please check one of the recipes we find delicious on our Instagram page.
