The aim is to find a balance between nature and agriculture and to sensitise both producers and consumers to sustainable farming methods.
Promoting sustainable agriculture
A central goal of Blühendes Österreich is to support farmers who are committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming methods. The foundation finances projects that enable the preservation of orchards, flowering areas and traditional cultivated landscapes. These measures not only contribute to environmental protection, but also promote the long-term production of healthy and natural food. In addition, Blühendes Österreich supports programmes to promote soil quality and reduce the use of pesticides, thereby preserving agricultural biodiversity.
Environmental education and awareness-raising
In addition to the direct promotion of sustainable agriculture, Blühendes Österreich is also committed to environmental education. Through school projects, information campaigns and workshops, people are encouraged to make sustainable consumption decisions. The aim is to raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity and sustainable nutrition among the population. The foundation works with local partners to establish effective long-term educational programmes and raise awareness of sustainable nutrition among the general public.
Future prospects
Blühendes Österreich plans to further expand its projects and secure even more land for sustainable agriculture. Long-term solutions for sustainable food production are to be created through partnerships with companies and public institutions. The foundation shows that nature conservation and economic success can go hand in hand. In addition, innovative research projects are to be initiated in order to develop new sustainable cultivation methods that are both economically and ecologically efficient.
