We live on a planet that for 4.5 billion years has evolved various mechanisms for life to flourish in all its forms and strategies. Therefore, it is the most valuable teacher for us in our search for paths to productive, regenerative and self-sustaining agroforestry practices.
Rather than adapting life (ours and that of other creatures) to ever worsening environmental conditions, we seek to improve these conditions for all of us together and for future generations.
We are each unique and we each have our own important place in the wheel of life. Diversity is one aspect of life and gives it beauty and stability.
We strive to find simple, local solutions while maximizing the potential of the site.
We try to ensure that our reflections are not based on fear and separateness, but rather on trust in the intelligence and power of life.
We strive to put the seeds of theoretical knowledge and observation into the ground and let them grow into real action. What others call a mistake or a failure, we see as an experience that is a prerequisite for further growth.
Founded in 2014, AMPI is a non-profit organization focused primarily on local food development, solidarity initiatives and food sovereignty in the Czech Republic and across Europe. Its main objective is to educate adults, youth and children on the environmental aspects of agriculture and food consumption, to provide guidance to farmers and consumers in setting up local food initiatives and social enterprises, to promote local food alternatives and to conduct research and study activities on sustainable agriculture and local food systems. It is also dedicated to the development and promotion of urban agriculture and alternative approaches, including syntropic agriculture.
