About us

Every Biovision project begins with a carefully designed development process. New projects do not emerge by chance, but where there is a concrete challenge within the food system and agroecological approaches have the potential to create lasting change.

Bringing agroecology into the mainstream requires strong partnerships and supportive policy frameworks. 2025 Biovision focused its efforts precisely on these key levers.

In his lecture at the Nobel Talks series, Biovision’s Foundation Board President Hans Rudolf Herren explains why agroecology is a key lever for creating a fair and sustainable food system and what actions need to be taken politically and socially.
