The German Förderkreis Biozyklisch-Veganer Anbau e. V. (Association for the Promotion of Biocyclic Vegan Farming) is a broad association of highly dedicated private individuals, companies and institutions from agriculture, processing industry, trade and science as well as organisations that support animal rights and a vegan lifestyle. As a charity organisation it advises growers in German-speaking countries on the conversion to biocyclic vegan farming and raises public awareness of the benefits of this form of cultivation. In addition, it participates in research projects on humus-upbuild and long-term increase of soil fertility through the use of purely plant-based biocyclic humus soil. This is supported by various working groups.
