Summary translation
Der vorliegende Leitfaden entstand im Rahmen des maßgeblich vom Umweltbundesamt und der Postcode Lotterie geförderten Verbändeprojektes „Veganer Ökolandbau“. Er stellt eine Einstiegshilfe für all diejenigen dar, die daran interessiert sind, ihren Betrieb nach den seit 2017 von IFOAM – Organics International (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) anerkannten Biozyklisch Veganen Richtlinien kontrollieren und zertifizieren zu lassen und Erzeugnisse mit dem Biozyklisch-Veganen Gütesiegel als „vegan ab Feld" kenntlich zu machen.

| Teaser: | A step-by-step introduction. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | In agricultural and environmental policy, the course has long been set for reducing the number of livestock, and thus an alternative form of food production is gradually growing. Biocyclic vegan agriculture, an ecological and regenerative approach to farming without commercial animal husbandry and without the use of fertilisers or other inputs of animal origin, offers a future-oriented alternative to intensive animal husbandry, which is harmful to the environment and the climate. It contributes to tackling the global crises of the environment and food security and, at the same time, respects the dignity of the animals. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | This Growers‘ Guide was developed by a team of the German association “Förderkreis Biozyklisch-Veganer Anbau” within the framework of a project “Vegan Organic Farming” (Veganer Ökolandbau – VegÖL), which was significantly funded by the German Environment Agency. It is an introductory guide for all those who are interested in having their operations inspected and certified by the IFOAM-accredited Biocyclic Vegan Standard, allowing them to label their products with the Biocyclic Vegan Quality Seal, and thereby identifying them as “vegan from the field”. |
