@novafuture You will surely be excited to know that in the Netherlands and EU cooperatives are boosting. In NL we have now 720 energy-cooperatives (see map) and a huge amount of food-cooperatives differentiated in CSA, regenerative and foodforests 😃 They are the backbone of local transition and inspiration to lots of people of all sorts 🥰

@adrianros Thank you for sharing this information. On the French side, we're approaching 4200 for genuine cooperatives, and that number is growing. So, there's not only bad news in the world :-)
