ECOFEST 2023
EcoFest 2023 is a national and long-awaited event of like-minded people: friends, partners, colleagues and all those who care about ecology and organic agriculture as one of the tools for preserving the health of future generations and mitigating climate change, protecting the environment and reviving the traditions of nomadic peoples who, moving from one place to another, did not know about pollution, did not leave garbage behind and always treated the environment with care. The philosophy and way of life of nomadic peoples were completely harmonious with the environment.
EcoFest is a platform for raising awareness and awareness of the civil society, where we learn about the benefits of organic agriculture, conscious consumption, environmental protection and how and what contribution each of us can make to the rational use of resources and the conservation of biodiversity at the national and global levels.
EcoFest is the first and unique platform:
supporting Kyrgyz farmers and producers who strive to adhere to the principles of an ecological and socially responsible approach to the environment;
awareness and popularization of tools for positive influence on the eco-system of our Planet;
networking and meeting with like-minded people;
a fun and useful holiday filled with events with family, friends and loved ones.
ECOFEST 2023, as in previous years, is built around the 5R principle – five simple rules, formulated by the famous Zero Waste. We have added two more equally important ones to these 5 rules – Rethink
(Rethinking) and Renewal (Renewable
energy sources/revival of the philosophy and traditions of nomadic peoples).
1. REFUSE – refuse.
2. REDUCE – reduce.
3. REPAIR & REUSE – reuse.
4. RECYCLE – recycle.
5. ROT – compost.
6. RETHINK – rethink.
7. RENEWAL – renewal/rebirth.
For us, the components “Rethinking” and
“Renewal/Rebirth” are important
components, without which all the other
5 are impossible and are precisely what sets all the other
rules into action.
“7 components – 7 locations”
The festival venue, the EcoFarm ecofarm, will feature 7 main educational zones, in each of which master classes, lectures and entertainment dedicated to the 7R principles will be held.
In addition, the festival will invariably delight guests with:
A food court with healthy and the most delicious food and drinks
A farmer’s fair from our partners – local farmers from all over Kyrgyzstan;
A crafts fair;
A children’s entertainment and master class area;
A music venue;
Contests, quests, a photo zone and much more.
