OAKMEAL Initiative

The OAKMEAL Acorn Initiative is a multifaceted project that encompasses resource regeneration, food sovereignty, community cohesion and agroecology. I have helped farmers to rekindle the collection of acorn caps for exportation as well as establishing acorn flour based products in the local cuisine. These activities have led to new hope and a shift in thinking that empowers farm families to save a natural resource and create sustainable income from the ancient Oak forest on Kea Island.

The OAKMEAL Acorn Initiative holds annual acorn collecting, storing & processing seminars in Greece and maintains an acorn shelling, leaching and pressing facility on Kea Island.
