GMB009: Conflictfood: Cultivating Peace Through One Single Ingredient

A warm welcome to session no. 9 of the GreenMe Berlin podcast. And warm is desperately needed right now - it’s been snowing here in Berlin this week. In the middle of April! That my friends, drives me even more to do the best that I possibly can to stop climate change and help keeping this planet healthy. But, when I think about this dedicated social entrepreneur duo that I’m introducing you to today, my heart is instantly getting much warmer. I cannot wait to share the story of Conflictfood with you. Through one single ingredient, that is grown in a global crisis region, they are opening our eyes for a different story about countries like Afghanistan or Palestine. One that the media don’t tell. And at the same time, help small local farmers to earn a living in a sustainable way. The interview with Conflictfood really touched me, as it deeply links to what I believe in. They show us another side of the world, tell us positive stories of joy and lust for life! If you want to support Conflictfood, the easiest thing to do so is a) to buy their product and b) even easier, to share this episode out with your friends and anyone you think should know about this, too. You'll find the full transcript of this interview and the show notes at www.greenmeberlin.com/podcast-conflictfood. So check it out & get in touch with Salem & Gernot. ----- Show notes (excerpt): - www.conflictfood.com   - Social Impact Lab - Migration Hub - Book of Joy  ----- As always, you’d make me super happy if you subscribe to the podcast and leave me a little review on iTunes. It helps me to keep going and would just be a wonderful support from your side. Thanks soooo much. ----- One more news from my side: if you’re in Berlin on the 29th April, I’m doing a green tour through my home kiez, South Neukölln, where I wanna show you the amazing eco-minded projects that this area is really filled with. We’ll say hi and chat to the founders of some creative sustainable food concepts, ethical fashion stores and transformed spaces. And get an insight into their work and why they do it. So if you’re in town, I’d be really happy if you join. It’ll take around 3-3.5hours and costs 25 euros. Spots are very limited, cause I think it’s much better in a small group. And you can find all the info and tickets here on my Facebook page. ----- Last shout out, promise: if you wanna stay up to date with the latest interviews, green events and fresh content from me and my explorations around going green in Berlin, then sign up for my monthly newsletter. I got a little thank you if you do so, I’ll send you a best-of guide to 7 of my favorite eco-minded places in the city. To get it, just go over to www.greenmeberlin.com/newsletter. That's it! Thanks so much for listening! Have an amazing day & remember to keep it green :)
