Great things are happening all over Greece, sometimes more, sometimes less visible. We are fortunate to know about many active change agents, ecosystem and community stewards, and want to support the connection among them. As change starts within us, but together its ripple effects are vast.
Explore the different change initiatives that truly give hope and are worth joining, supporting and replicating.
Local Networks for regen farmers
& a national network for the agri-food sector
What and Why
In eight different regions in Greece so far we created through our initiative Regenerative Farming Greece networks for farmers who aim to transition to regenerative practices to allow peer-to-peer learning and community support. Beyond we network across various stakeholders in Greece to facilitate the transition of the agri-food sector in Greece and beyond.
To unite and support people in Greece and beyond, who are actively contributing to a change toward regenerative practices, we co-initiated the Eco-Project Network Greece in 2019. The network aims to identify and cover common needs of Eco-projects and initiatives that aim at regenerative topics, and to enable collaboration between the involved people. It is a platform to exchange and combine assets of the involved projects and initiatives to co-cover each other's needs.
Building trust is the foundation of all successful collaboration
Through regular meetings, though with still a loose structure, we build trust among each other which is the foundation of all successful collaboration, while staying agile to adjust to the changing needs and the environment.
While it is still unclear if and what shape the network will take, we have already seen many positive outcomes, like job matchings inside the network and many new projects evolving as collaborations between members of the network. As a linking tool for the network, we are currently working on a map to represent all of the greek eco projects.

The definition of an Eco Project within our network is evolving as life itself.
Currently we define Eco Projects as places of learning around sustainability and a life that supports our eco systems and communities in the future, while they are also characterized by a community living aspect, meaning that at least part of the year common structures like kitchen are shared. If this applies to your project, you can register your project on our map.
