Mission
We are lucky to live in a region
characterized by astonishing natural treasures and traditional
farming areas, in which an equilibrium between man and nature can
still be found. However, this is a time of transition for the
region and there is a risk that some changes might harm the
biological diversity, extensive ways of farming and traditional
knowledge.
We believe that there is a middle
way between industrialized agriculture and fossilising farming for
conservation, namely rural development through living tradition,
healthy food, eco-tourism, diverse and sustainable agriculture,
modern living standards and a society which recognizes the value of
semi-natural landscapes. Through our activities we want to
contribute to develop this future for the rural areas of
Romania.
Because we are dealing with complex
systems, we must respect the links between:
- man and nature
- past, present and future
- science and application
- us and our fellow men.
Therefore our motto is:
Everything is connected to everything
else.
