Our mission
Pure nature
Supporting the production and consumption of local and organic food would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport and agriculture, which are major contributors to climate change. According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), climate change is one of the most serious threats to the health and well-being of Europeans, as it can cause heat stroke, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases and stress.
Health
Improving food quality would improve people's health by preventing exposure to pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and other chemicals that can have adverse effects on the immune system, hormone balance, reproductive function and cancer risk. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the biggest environmental health risk in Europe and causes over 400,000 premature deaths annually.
Social welfare
Stimulating the local economy would improve people's social well-being by creating jobs, income and development opportunities. According to the European Parliament, air quality directives have the potential to bring benefits to the economy of up to €40 billion per year by reducing healthcare costs, increasing productivity and stimulating innovation.
Support the project!
Want to eat healthier and support local food producers and processors? Do you want to contribute to the protection of the environment and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions? Do you want to get involved in an interesting and useful project that will give you the opportunity to learn more about local and organic foods, share experience and good practices with other people from Bulgaria and Slovenia, and create new contacts and partnerships?
We are a team of enthusiastic and committed people working on the project "Eco Basket Please!", which aims to bring together producers and processors who grow, process and use healthy, local and organic foods, as well as other stakeholders , towards the objectives of the EU's "Farm to Fork" strategy supporting the development of a fair, healthy and environmentally friendly food chain.
We seek active participation from everyone who shares our vision and values. We believe that together we can make a difference for a better future for ourselves, for society and for the planet. If you are interested in joining us or learning more about our project, please contact us!
