Businesses that work according to agroecological principles make a valuable contribution to the conservation of natural resources and long-term food security. Biovision supports entrepreneurs in gaining access to technical advice, working capital and relevant networks. We also motivate donors to invest more in such companies and in more favourable framework conditions. On the consumer side, we promote awareness of the added value of sustainably and socially produced food.

Making agroecology visible: A Biovision approach

Biovision is committed to improving the political framework conditions for agroecology. A key lever: the visibility of enterprises that successfully implement agroecology. These enterprises demonstrate that economic success and social commitment can go hand in hand, providing compelling evidence in favour of sustainable agricultural policies. In the video, we use the example of an award ceremony in Kigali, Rwanda, to demonstrate exactly how we shine the spotlight on these enterprises.

How agroecological is my initiative?

Biovision promotes agroecology to leverage a sustainable food system. Entrepreneurs, project leaders and people responsible for initiatives often do not know how much their projects or business model correspond to the 13 principles of agroecology, though. To make their assessments easier (and anchor agroecology more firmly as a result), Biovision has developed the Business Agroecology Criteria Tool, or B-ACT for short.
