PROTECTING FARMERS' PROPERTY

Contents of the community farm and future foundation (in formation): 1. Acquisition of land and forest areas 2. Securing and developing village commercial structures 3. Promoting diverse, organic agriculture 4. Creating natural mixed deciduous forests 5. Creating and maintaining agricultural biotopes 6. Keeping protected/endangered domestic and farm animal breeds

COMMERCIAL ORGANIC FARMING

Unfortunately, modern man has lost the ability to use land to live in harmony with nature. That is why we are where we are, faced with a shambles: microplastics in all soils, contaminated water, insect deaths, general species extinction, climate change

NATURE AND LANDSCAPE PROTECTION

GOALS of the community farm and future foundation (in formation): Nature conservation and landscape protection to protect biodiversity, biotopes, soil and groundwater, both on farmland and in the forest. RESPONSIBILITY: Sustainable use and healing of the land in harmony with responsibility for the planet. COMMITMENT: Returning to nature for self-regeneration requires sacrifice, full commitment and support.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Keeping animals requires a special sense of responsibility. You can look after injured or abandoned wild animals and release them back into the wild or care for them in species-appropriate enclosures. Animal shelters show that many animals from the history of breeding live in miserable situations because of a lack of responsibility. Keeping farm animals has led to a loss of diversity, as it was often subordinated to economic constraints. The GEH is committed to preserving regional breeds of farm animals, many of which have already become extinct. Old, hardy breeds such as mountain sheep and Freiberger horses need our help and contribute to organic farming. Free-range and barn-based chicken farming are important aspects of species-appropriate animal husbandry that offer the animals better living conditions. It is a symbiosis that requires appreciation for the life and personality of the animals.
