The first 1,000 Founders.
Before the EatoSystem is built, the EatoFoundation must be formed.
We are selecting the first 1,000 Founders — brilliant, values-led people who want to help build, guide, and protect a new food system designed for health, community, and the environment.

Apply to become one of the first 1,000 Founders.
This is not a normal membership. It is a selected founding group for people who can contribute intelligence, integrity, experience, creativity, relationships, capital, leadership, local knowledge, or deep commitment to the development of the EatoSystem.
Apply for free. Join by selection. Help build from the beginning.
Intelligence & Expertise
Knowledge, insight, and domain mastery that helps shape better decisions.
Relationships & Networks
Connections that open doors, build trust, and expand the EatoSystem's reach.
Values & Commitment
A genuine belief in what this is building — and a willingness to contribute long-term.
Local & Global Perspective
Grounded in county, community, and land — while thinking at national and global scale.
People from every field.
EatoSystem needs people from every domain — not just food. The EatoFoundation is built from the widest range of intelligence and experience.

Selected in waves. Announced publicly.
Founders are selected in five progressive waves. Each wave matters. The first are the closest.
First 10
The inner founding circle. Closest involvement in shaping the Foundation's early structure and direction.
First 100
The founding core. Key voices in early decisions, first to contribute to county builds.
First 250
The founding cohort. Active participants in the build, connected across counties and domains.
First 500
The founding body. Full Founder status with contribution roles across EatoSystem functions.
First 1,000
The complete founding membership. Selected once. Never reopened. The EatoFoundation is formed.
Free to apply. Contribution if selected.
Applying costs nothing. If selected, Founders make a once-off €100 Founding Contribution and choose a monthly contribution level. Sponsored places are available for those who need them.
