International Commitment
Georgia Organic - Farming for the Future
The aim of the project is to promote the development and stabilisation of employment in rural Georgia and to support environmental protection and resource conservation.
In this three-year project, Naturland wants to expand organic agriculture in Georgia together with Georgian partner organisations. In order to strengthen organic farming and fair trade, the project will support selected agricultural associations and organisations in Georgia through know-how transfer and networking.
To this end, Naturland will develop educational programs on organic farming and fair trade which will be permanently integrated into the services offered by the partner associations. In addition, the project will enable partner associations to offer advisory services on the organic production of selected agricultural products such as tea or wine.
Duration: 2022 - 2025 (3 years)
