What happens when we spot social innovation early? 🌱

Ideas that start small can grow into new policies, new systems and lasting social change.

For more than 20 years, SozialMarie has been recognising and supporting social innovations while they are still taking shape.

Because the right moment to recognise an innovation might be earlier than we think.

When is the right moment?

Food is a human right, not a market commodity. ✊🍅

For social innovators looking to build resilient, future-proof alternatives to industrial systems, the real battleground isn’t production—it’s power.

Too often, sustainability projects focus strictly on „food sufficiency“—the technical metrics of securing enough food. But top-down, corporate-led „green“ initiatives often just wrap extractive capitalism in a new banner.
If we want true resilience in an era of climate and geopolitical crises, the goal must be food sovereignty: putting the control of food systems entirely back into the hands of small-scale producers, workers, and local communities.

„Peasant agriculture is not a relic of the past; it is the blueprint for our collective future.“ — Morgan Ody, La Via Campesina

✨ Innovator’s Challenge: How can we design autonomous, non-hierarchical alternatives that reject free-market pressures?

❓Question for SozialMarie’s Projects: Do you face similar situations? Share your challenges, thoughts and solutions!
