Our Values

Documentation Over Promotion

We document what exists without encouraging or discouraging any practice. Our goal is to make information accessible for researchers and the curious.

Complete Documentation

Our Case Studies section documents a range of outcomes — including cases where things didn't go as planned. Complete information helps people make informed decisions.

Cross-Cultural Perspective

Food autonomy practices exist across many cultures—from Yogic traditions to Chinese Bigu to Russian researchers. We aim to represent all traditions.

Verification Transparency

We indicate the verification level for each practitioner—whether claims were observed, self-reported, or have contradictory evidence.
