General Information
Our association is promoting sustainable agriculture and community based development projects. In 2011, a cross-border cooperation network of members was created in the border areas of Karst Ialy, Sloenia and Croatia. Currently, this network project CESnet- cross border eco-sustainable network is providing environmental education and permaculture learning in partnership with Gaia education, scotland in these regions.
Every year a trans-border festival Terrafest is being held for the members, farmers and institutions. In 2015, Terrafest began a seed saving walk from Italy and crossed into Slovenia and arrived in Rijeka at a member's organization covering almost 170 kilometers in 10 days, stopping at a member each day and presenting workshops for local communities with experts.
Mission and Objectives
The network has around 50 members in 3 countries and is now starting to enroll members in Austria. Most actions are based on continuing education for teachers, farmers, industry workers, university students and awareness building to reduce the carbon foot print.
