BIO Stiftung Schweiz

The Bio-Stiftung Schweiz, founded in 1987 by agricultural scientist Dr. Rainer Bächi, is a non-profit operational initiative foundation that advocates for the promotion of environmentally friendly agriculture and ecological consumption behavior.

The foundation aims to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture, with the long-term goal of achieving 100% organic farming. This includes permanent soil fertility, high biodiversity, sustainable management of the environment, nature, climate, and ecosystems, as well as the search for true prices for agricultural products[2][3].

• Own Projects and Initiatives: The Bio-Stiftung Schweiz launches its own projects and supports existing initiatives to promote environmentally friendly agriculture and ecological consumption behavior. An example of this is the Soil Fertility Fund, which focuses on promoting soil health and fertility[2][5].
• Research and Innovation: The foundation supports research and innovation projects in the fields of ecology, sustainability, and climate protection. This also includes the promotion of education and training in these areas[3].
• Practical Projects: The foundation supports practical projects that are implemented directly in agriculture and the consumption sector. An example is the "Soil Day," where farmers, consumers, and interested parties are informed about the various aspects of soil[1][5].

• Soil Fertility: A central goal of the foundation is to promote soil fertility through sustainable agricultural practices. This is implemented through the Soil Fertility Fund and events such as the "Soil Day"[1][5].
• Biodiversity and Climate Protection: The foundation advocates for high biodiversity and climate protection by supporting projects that pursue these goals. This also includes the promotion of biodynamic farming practices[2][3].
• Ecological Consumption Behavior: By promoting ecological consumption behavior, the foundation aims to help consumers make conscious choices that serve the environment and sustainability[2][3].

Unlike many foundations, the Bio-Stiftung Schweiz does not finance itself from its own assets but relies on donations and active fundraising. This allows the foundation to act flexibly and independently and pursue its goals without financial constraints[2][5].

Art plays an important role in the work of the Bio-Stiftung Schweiz. It serves as a medium to strengthen creativity, performance, and mental resilience. The foundation uses art to empower people in their initiative for the vitality and health of the Earth and to create awareness of the connection between humans, nature, and the Earth[2][5].

The Bio-Stiftung Schweiz works closely with various institutions and organizations to achieve its goals and is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly development both nationally and internationally. Through its innovative and creative approach, the foundation makes a significant contribution to shaping a sustainable and vibrant world.
