Member - Votre Cercle de Vie

The project of Votre Cercle de Vie involves the transformation of an existing activity based on a traditional biodynamic farm into a multidisciplinary organic farm integrating low-tech innovations. This pioneering project in Switzerland brings together in a single building the farm, an educational eco-hotel, a holistic restaurant, a natural health space, and a space for education and training for the transition through agriculture and the bond with the living environment. Currently, the project is in the final decision phase for the construction permission that represents only the outcome of a path that makes the mindset and the established rules of our political and economic partners evolve. In this sense, Votre Cercle de Vie is already a societal innovation whose impact is not measured by direct financial performance but rather by social transformation embodied at the global level by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The primary innovation is the paradigm shift, which is reflected in all project sectors according to the "cradle to cradle" or circular economy principle. This initiative is unprecedented in Switzerland.
