Our approach

In almost every culture, Earth is feminine: Mother Earth, Gaia, Terra, Prithvi… Woman, are like the soil: they have the power to create life.

“When women gather, great things will happen “

Leymah Gbowee

In almost every culture, Earth is feminine: Mother Earth, Gaia, Terra, Prithvi… Woman, on the other hand, are like the soil: they have the power to create life. OQ’s intervention is through the “Mother” and the “Woman”. We hope to create local solutions for people and planet, by harnessing on this primal instinct of sustaining life. We combine Mother’s innate nourishing ability with a local, sustainable, secure food chain in a changing climate, we educate, equip and support the mother to make conscious and intuitive food choices for the family, the community and the planet.

Our objective is to empower the mother (primary caregiver) to take charge of food safety for family, community and planet; to provide her with tools and a living wage to create socio-economic opportunities around local, affordable and healthy food; and build and support collaborations around regenerative farming and local food chains.
