The foundation aims to promote healthy and environmentally conscious nutrition with food from local agriculture, mutual understanding between producers and consumers, and better contact between city and country. The foundation pursues its purpose particularly through the support of research projects, teaching materials, documentation, publications, information campaigns, and other initiatives that are suitable to fulfill the foundation's purpose. In addition to educational work, which is intended to contribute to a more widespread understanding of modern agriculture and nutrition, the foundation also promotes measures that foster dialogue between agriculture and its stakeholders. As a rule, the foundation does not engage in its own activities; it supports projects of third parties.
