  • Community Supported Agriculture... what’s that?
    24 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    CSA means Community Supported Agriculture. As you know, a farmer’s harvest depends on the weather. Not only but mostly. And it has always been hard for farmers to anticipate the quality of harvest, and the amount of clients.CSA was created to mitigate the risks for farmers.
    I have found here a good definition. It "consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes—either legally or spiritually—the community’s farm, with the growers (…)

  • Kurki: why eco-villages are so important
    14 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    We are lucky in Tampere, we have a beautiful eco-village only 45min drive accessible to learn tons of things. And for those who want to travel without polluting, the bus 55 is taking you there. I’ve been there with family and friends a couple of times.
    The place is called Kurki and it’s located in Vesilahti, by the lake Pyhäjärvi. It’ s a community ecovillage and a biodynamic farm (which mean organic basically but I’ll explain the differences later if I have time...).
    In 2011, after (…)

  • Transformation festival at Tehdas 108
    15 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Tehdas 108 it’s almost a decade of art, creativity, peace & love building.
    Sounds beautiful, isn’t? Sounds a little bit 70’s, don’t you think? And why not?
    I mean, we - as human species - have tried destruction, critic, pride, individualism, envy, anger, domination, coldness, robots, explore Mars and back. We see the results.
    Can we try love? Can we engage with art again? And community? Can we try gratitude, altruism, tolerance, generosity?
    That’s what Tehdas 108 experimented for (…)

  • Visiting Kurki ecovillage
    9 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    Today, with Janna from Changemakers, we went to visit the Kurki eco-village. It’s close to Vesilahti, 45min drive from Tampere (we got slighlty lost) or direct bus n°55.
    During all Summer, each Saturday between 11am and 14pm they have a Summer Café where you can sip a nice coffee with organic home made pulla’s. Satu is welcoming every one to answer questions and we had... a lot. It was actually even too much so we’ll go back very soon!!
    The eco-village started about 6 years ago. It’s (…)

  • Meeting with eco-village co-founders: Satu & Jarkko Mattila
    24 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Satu and Jarko Mattila are change agents of the Pirkanmaa region. Together with others, they have created an eco-village where about 30 people live permanently.
    When you start something like that, you obviously enter a fascinating journey because everything is going to be questioned. It’s a life time adventure where you’ll have to re-think the food system, the energy consumption, the quality of the buildings, the dirty waters management, the relationships between the co-founders and the (…)

  • Permaculture day in Vesilahti
    18 August 2020, by Eva Wissenz

    Permaculture is "a holistic approach to systems design, grounded in three ethic principles (care for the land, care for people, and fair share), based on mimicking natural systems.*" In this approach, energy resources and human intervention are limited as much as possible.
    The word "perma(nent)culture" was created in 1978 by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, based on the experiment of Mr Fukuoka with natural farming.
    Every natural approach is interesting and there is sooooo much to learn (…)

  • Meeting with Alexandra Santos, a change agent in the start-up eco-system
    26 June 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Alexandra is based in Finland since 15 years. She’s coming from Portugal and she had to make her way here!
    First involved with Tribe, a great community space for startups that was really missing in town when it was created, she then co-founded Stream Festival. It was a non-profit event organized to bring visibility to early stage startups and to provide to the founders great networking opportunities with peers and investors.
    In winter 2020, she became Chief Operations Officer at Platform (…)
