About us
Land Source of Income Foundation was registered in July 2003 in Plovdiv as a non-profit legal entity for carrying out activities for community benefit. It works towards sustainable development of rural regions through boosting the local economic initiative.
The priorities of the Foundation are as follows:
- Increasing the capacity of local institutions and organizations for fostering the process of rural region development;
- Setting up and consolidation of local partnerships for the development and implementation of projects in support of small farmers;
- Disseminating information and providing consulting services for the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices in regions populated with mixed ethnic communities;
- Providing financial support for the implementation of local economic initiatives in the field of agriculture and alternative businesses..
Land – Source of Income is the main program of the Foundation. It provides opportunities to individuals or families – mainly from Roma communities in the villages in Plovdiv region, who own little or no land – to obtain agricultural land and to effectively cultivate it.
The two organizational branches of the Land Source of Income Foundation – Agroinfo Centre and Land and Incomes Ltd. – provide information, consulting services and training, as well as access to financial resources.
