 Food For Thought continued as a movement in the making by starting to address ideas around sustainable food production and consumption. Barbara felt that with so many people working at a volunteer level either as individuals or small organisations there would be a greater benefit in harnessing their collective group energy. She created an open space for brainstorming ideas at DOK.

Barbara felt that with so many people working at a volunteer level either as individuals or small organisations there would be a greater benefit in harnessing their collective group energy. She created an open space for brainstorming ideas at DOK. The open group came up with 3 ideas:
-1. Putting edible gardens in schools: a project involving urban farming between parents, teachers and students 
-2. Spreading gardening knowledge in nursing homes with the elderly. Starting gardens for them to look after and share their existing knowledge with the community. 
-3. A Carrot Mob: Food for Thought will find out from shop owners how great a percentage of their profits they would reinvest in renewable energy. The highest bidder will be the centre of a flash mob on Fair Trade Day in October, where for one day everyone will be encouraged to shop at that location, hence providing the shop with the highest profit margin possible. 
  
-Vooruit has traditionally been a space for the people, a venue for coming together and for building a community around social action. Under Barbara’s direction, Vooruit is reclaiming its history by presenting social action and community building initiatives around sustainability and food alongside its diverse program of arts events and performance. Under Barbara’s leadership, these initiatives are harnessing skills and knowledge from the community and connecting the dots to help guide us into the future. +1.    -  Putting edible gardens in schools: a project involving urban farming between parents, teachers and students\\ 2.     - Spreading gardening knowledge in nursing homes with the elderly.
