Nature & Progrès

About Nature & Progrès

Nature & Progrès Belgique is a Belgian association of consumers, gardeners, and producers that promotes organic agriculture and broader sustainable living. It presents itself as a community of change working for human health and the health of the earth, with roots in agroecology and a long-standing commitment to authentic organic farming.

The association serves members and the wider public in Wallonia and Brussels through advocacy, information, events, and practical initiatives. Its activities span organic food and farming, sustainable housing, renewable energy, cosmetics, textiles, and other everyday solutions that it sees as compatible with the balance between humans and nature.

Core Values

• Authentic organic farming: The association strongly defends organic agriculture as a long-term solution and emphasizes production that respects natural balance and ecological systems.
• Health and sustainability: Its mission links human health, environmental health, and sustainable everyday choices, from food to housing and personal care.
• Citizen action and collective change: Nature & Progrès highlights participation, local engagement, and social transition, encouraging members, producers, and volunteers to act together.
• Agroecology and respect for nature: The organization is rooted in peasant agroecology and promotes solutions that work with local contexts while respecting the balance between humans and nature.

Unique Aspects

• Consumer-and-producer association: Nature & Progrès describes itself as a unique association bringing together consumers and producers, rather than representing only one side of the food chain.
• Broad sustainability scope: Its work goes beyond food to include habitat, energy, cosmetics, textiles, and other areas of sustainable living.
• Strong regional presence: The association operates through local groups across Wallonia and Brussels, giving it a decentralized grassroots structure.
• Major public event: It is associated with Festi’Valériane, presented as the largest organic fair in Belgium, which helps extend its visibility and outreach.
