A non-profit that would rather act.
Man Natura is a Brussels non-profit founded in 2013 with one goal: giving as many people as possible access to healthy, sustainable food. We help producers and artisans distribute through short supply chains, and we create the events that make that food desirable.
The conferences
The adventure starts with talks and debates about food in Brussels.
The pick-up points
First short-chain distributions open, on the network now called Crowdfarming.
The festival
First edition of the Brussels Food Festival, with the Auderghem municipality.
Eight points, two festivals
Eight pick-up points a week, two editions a year, and corporate events all year round.
What we hold to
Fair prices
The producer sets the price. We don't live off a margin taken from their work.
Accessible, not elitist
Healthy food has to stay affordable, otherwise it changes nothing.
Pleasure first
Guilt convinces nobody. Good food does.
Local and concrete
Producers we know by first name, a few dozen kilometres away.
A committed, close-knit and deeply versatile team.
Everyone here gets stuck in at every stage of the project: from collections in the field to building the festival. That collective involvement sits at the heart of how we work.
