Teikei! This is not about skewed profits, where wholesale markets and transport companies cash in while poorly paid workers have to toil for them and farmers are exploited. There is a system here that everyone can influence, where everyone can get involved and where the focus is on fair treatment and trust. Felix, the founder of TEIKEI, explains why he left his well-paid job as an aircraft technician to lead a Europe-wide movement for fair and sustainable food supply.
TEIKEI on the Food Change Platform: Change through regenerative agriculture at TEIKEI Olive
My motivation to get involved with TEIKEI Olive came from the desire to do something positive and sustainable. Several years of working in the olive groves of olive farmers in Greece and the realization of the importance of sustainable and fair cultivation methods led me to become fully committed to TEIKEI Olive. TEIKEI Olive stands for transparency, fairness and sustainability, and these values are very important to me personally.

TEIKEI Olive is committed to a fair and sustainable trading system for olive oil. Together with the TEIKEI-global network, we are transferring the concept of community-supported agriculture to supra-regional trade. This provides farmers in Greece with financial security and enables organic cultivation that protects the environment and offers consumers transparent insights.
