Anyone working in sustainability knows that voluntary commitment and regenerative business often go hand in hand: both develop projects for people and nature.

Our raison d’être: Much of our work is voluntary. Edhen Association gives this commitment a clear home and supports non-profit projects for people and nature, in Switzerland and internationally. It also keeps our non-profit activities transparently separate from the consulting mandates.

Our purpose: We facilitate collaboration to develop sustainable projects and share knowledge. To restore landscapes & biodiversity, as well as strengthen food security & climate resilience. For lasting impact, we build partnerships based on trust.

Guided by the three permaculture ethics (earth care, people care, fair share), we only support projects that benefit people and the planet.

Edhen Association is non-profit and politically and religiously independent.

What we do:

• Interdisciplinary conferences
• Workshops on agroforestry and permaculture 
• Tree-planting events
• Supporting community-based permaculture gardens 
• Gardening, workshops and hikes with and for refugees
