Welcome to the Macedonian Beekeeping and Agroforestry Social Economy and Sustainable Development Project
APISEED mission:
The Association for Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development (APISEED) devotes to job creation through ecological management of natural areas.
Economic integration by sustainable development projects is the overall mission of APISEED.
The challenge is major: develop durable programs ensuring professional integration of vulnerable people while addressing environmental stakes.
To achieve it, we believe that projects intended to the sustainable use of natural resources and driven by an added-value search are the surest way to produce social benefits.
From this starting point, APISEED dedicates to set up social entrepreneurship projects aimed at job-creating activities respectful of the ecological system and solidarity economy principles.
This global mission encompasses 3 specific ones:
1/ Provide skills training in local communities: develop added-value in the production and processing of natural substances.
2/ Give rise to territorial ecosystems of solidarity units: integrate low-income groups to supply chains of goods and services provisions for the rural and national markets.
3/ Sustainable management of biodiversity resources: promote new interactions and cooperations for natural heritage preservation and resource usage.
