Mission Background
OUR MISSION

The Mycelial Network of Food

To compress the complexity of the global food system into a single, shared language of trust. Organising and decentralising the world's food to increase economic freedom and social connection.

For most of history, we wandered in small bands, foraging and hunting. Then we learned to cultivate grain. Land was divided. Surplus was traded. It became our first industry. And from there, the wheel, roads, and ships followed.

Our food is a thread that runs through our shared history. And the story is still being written by the people of today.

The truest explanations tend to be the simplest. Einstein replaced dozens of assumptions with one framework. DNA uses four bases to encode all life. LEGO scales because one brick fits into every other.

FoodX is powered by FoodBlock, an open protocol with three fields and six types that can describe every food interaction on earth.

What Emerges

Properties that emerge from a universal food graph.

Health

A product lists flour as an ingredient. That flour links to a mill. The mill's certification says it processes wheat on shared equipment. Someone with a gluten allergy searching nearby bakeries sees that information surfaced automatically because the ingredients are connected through the graph.

Economic Freedom

A home cook selling meal prep uses the same transfer block as a Michelin restaurant taking reservations. A farmer can run a subscription box. A chef can sell a masterclass. The structure doesn't change based on who you are or how big your operation is.

Zero Waste

A cafe has 30 sandwiches left at 4pm. That surplus is visible on the network. A food bank two streets away sees it and claims it before closing. The transfer is logged, the cafe gets a tax receipt, and the food doesn't end up in a bin.

Connection

You rate a ramen spot. Your friend reviews a farmer's market. A chef you follow posts a recipe using ingredients from that same market. All of that is the same data, just viewed differently depending on who's looking and what they care about.

Transparency

You're looking at a loaf of bread. You can see the baker who made it, the mill that ground the flour, the farm that grew the wheat, and whether that farm has an organic certification. Each step links to the one before it. Nobody had to manually tag any of it.

Cultural Preservation

A grandmother's kimchi recipe from Busan and a molecular gastronomy experiment from Copenhagen are stored the same way. Both are transforms with inputs, outputs, and techniques. Regional ingredients, heritage varieties, and traditional methods all live in the same graph as everything else.

25% to Charity

Every interaction on the network contributes. Every month, you pick your charity through your FoodX account. Your choice directs where your portion of our 25% profit donation goes.
