The Egyptian Biodynamic Association (EBDA) is an independent farmer association that has been promoting sustainable, regenerative and biodynamic agriculture since 1994. The EBDA mainly works on: • Improving knowledge and capabilities of any stakeholder interested in biodynamic/ organic agriculture in a way that nurtures personal development, independence and innovation. • To develop innovative solutions for producers through interdisciplinary and action-oriented approaches. • To provide high-quality technical, administrative and regulatory support to farmers in every step of the production process. • To provide marketing opportunities and facilitate access with potential buyers from national and international markets,

Economy of Love (‘EoL’) is a certification standard for sustainable, ethical and transparent products throughout the supply chain. We believe that through a transparent economic system, responsible consumers and producers can actively protect nature, and ensure that every person across the supply chain is fairly compensated and protected from exploitation. The economy of Love is also a community of companies, farms, and consumers working to create an economy based on respect, and compassion towards people and nature. Economy of Love was initiated by an organic farmer’s association called The Egyptian Biodynamic Association (EBDA), to support sustainable farmers, companies, and consumers. In order to reward regenerative farmers for their ecosystem services, we have recently included a comprehensive carbon credit scheme into the EoL standard. Now, EoL farmers are able to get financially rewarded through Carbon Credits, if they are proven to apply the required regulations.

EoL Core Values:
• Love: Doing everything with love and care.
• Fairness: Protecting the rights and dignity of every individual.
• Collaboration: Building local and global communities that work together for a positive impact.
• Responsibility: Taking responsibility for one’s decisions.
• Transparency: Communicating stories of people and goods as well as successes and failures.
