The association's ideal purpose is to strengthen awareness of traditional ways of life and promote the sustainable management of rural properties and areas. At its core is the preservation and transmission of knowledge about self-sufficiency, culinary traditions at the regional, national, and international levels, as well as sustainable agricultural methods. A key focus is on researching and disseminating sustainable cultivation and management methods, as well as self-sufficiency practices. Additionally, the association promotes the preservation of traditional rural lifestyles and engages in the restoration of historic rural properties. Providing tools to support agricultural and horticultural activities is also part of the goals, as is promoting a communal and sustainable lifestyle through cooperation. To achieve these goals, the association organizes lectures, workshops, and other events that are accessible to both members and the public. Furthermore, social gatherings foster direct exchange among members.
