nature solidarity<\/strong> is a non-profit organisation that campaigns for healthy nature through biodiversity and stable ecosystems, as well as healthy farm animals across the EU agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n

So that, despite global warming and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, we will have stable harvests in the future, affordable food for everyone, and a decent livelihood for farmers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

nature solidarity<\/strong> is a non-profit organisation founded in 2025 in accordance with Section 60a of the German Fiscal Code. Here is the statutes<\/a>. <\/p>\n

nature solidarity<\/strong> operates independently of political parties and therefore does not accept money, contracts, or memberships in commissions and working groups of EU bodies, government institutions and authorities, political parties, or companies. <\/p>\n

nature solidarity<\/strong> is funded exclusively through private and institutional donations. We are currently supported by Olin gGmbH<\/a>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

With the smallest possible core team, nature solidarity<\/strong> enters into strategic partnerships with experts, practitioners, and young people in agriculture from Germany and abroad.<\/p>\n

nature solidarity<\/strong> speaks many languages. The EU is the key actor for agricultural and food policy in the Member States, so our communication is multilingual: DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, NL, PL. <\/p>\n
