Mission: Food for change
Empowering communities to produce and process their own food in a way that helps in environmental restoration.
Vision
A world where food helps to connect humans with nature.
Philosophy
Changing the way, we produce and eat our food can solve a lot of the world’s pressing problems.
How and what do we address?
By empowering individuals/communities to grow their own food in a way that helps in environmental restoration. Our current way of food production, processing, packaging, and procurement is causing a lot of damage to our health and our environment.
The idea behind the name
Meaning
“Bon” in Bengali (our mother tongue ) means forest. Forest reminds us of the diversity and interconnectedness of lives.
Intention
Bon wants to transform any available spaces for growing food into a forest-like system by introducing native varieties of trees and plants. No life in a forest works in isolation but in cooperation and healthy competition. Similar to that bon wants to create and be part of a strong and resilient network that is working for the common goal of biodiversity restoration.
