The foundation
Our strategic perspective is to focus on women, small scale farmers, ecology and small town development. We work very practically and involve farmers, the local communities in which we operate as well as local authorities.

The results of our work reflects our practical approach, and we believe that participants learn by doing. Many small activities shall contribute to realise the big goal. In all our projects we are focused on spreading results to others, such as communities, farmers, individuals and organisations that are interested, to share our experience.
