Who will own and benefit from the project?
Food&More will work to the social enterprise principles of delivering lasting social, economic and environmental positive change and to invest profits responsibly. The Project will be a business which has to make profits, if it does not it will not be able to carry out its work. Alongside the business, will be a charity which will undertake a large proportion of the education and community work to support the projects vision.
Food&More will strive to be owned by many millions of partners and it will be these partners who will invest and grow Food&More. No one person, company or organisation will ever own or control the project, Food&More has been conceived to build strong communities, to protect and enhance the environment which supports us &More.
Food&More will be governed by its golden/guardian share.
We will all benefit from and use Food&More as individuals, as families, as businesses, as multi-national companies and as communities. Food&More is about inclusiveness not exclusiveness.
The Social Enterprise Principles of delivering lasting social, economic and environmental positive change and to invest the profits responsibly are the bottom line of Food&More.
