The purpose of the foundation is to preserve the historical and cultural know-how of agriculture, viticulture and cuisine, particularly with regard to the merits of product quality, production methods that respect the earth's resources and consumer health. The foundation will operate in the territory of Valais. The foundation may support projects that are in line with its objectives by helping their initiators to find solutions to reduce potential cost handicaps caused by additional production costs inherent in these requirements. It may also provide financial assistance to any other event and action aimed at promoting this philosophy.
