Delectable Treats from Western Bulgaria

Sustainably grown food is in ever greater demand among Bulgarian consumers, but most organic products available to them are imports. The Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation (BBF) has a plan to change that.

The foundation’s idea is to create a food basket with products from small farms that preserve Bulgarian traditions in growing clean, quality food. The basket will include delicacies from the Western Balkan Mountains region and will be marketed to corporations, NGOs, and public institutions in Bulgaria’s cities.

The business idea was a winner in this year’s Best NGO Business Plan competition, organized by the Bulgarian Center for Not-for-Profit Law with ABF support. BBF’s initiative furthers its five-year efforts to protect the environment and sustain local farming traditions and crafts in Western Bulgaria. The organization works with many small farmers and craftsmen to preserve pastures and traditions and help to sustain livelihoods in an economically depressed region.
