The Society for Self-Sufficiency represents interested people who are convinced that only working together – free of the selfish power structures of a few – can make a more independent, more peaceful and more harmonious survival of humanity in harmony with Mother Earth possible in the long term. This altruistic awareness makes it possible to support inventions and the development of systems and technologies that can become established in society at large. The Society for Self-Sufficiency fulfils its purpose through various funding objectives, set out below:

Object of our work

1st funding objective: Supporting selected inventors and developers of independent, decentralised energy systems in their development work; their qualification is examined and confirmed by a suitable committee before support is granted.

2nd funding objective: Further development of prototypes until they are ready for series production, led by specialist committees in the spirit of our work.

3rd funding objective: Supporting cooperations, companies and networks that have rendered outstanding services in making environmentally friendly, independent and decentralised energy systems usable and that are suited, in the spirit of our work, to introducing to the public the products developed within the Society that are ready for series production.

4th funding objective: Raising public awareness of the possibilities and the necessity of using new, alternative energy systems through publications and lectures, as well as researching and organising information, practices and products suited to maintaining and promoting the health of humans and animals in their natural order, and examining and spreading sound knowledge on all topics of natural ways of life.

5th funding objective: Creating exemplary habitats for humans and animals while protecting the environment, as spaces of communication and learning for society. These places serve to collect, examine, test and publish information with concrete instructions for protecting nature, as examples of the efficient and sustainable use of natural resources, and as places of encounter, natural regeneration and joint research.

Basic orientation

The Society for Self-Sufficiency (GAIA) sees itself as a decentralised organisation whose aim is to inform interested members on all questions concerning topics that make people more independent. GAIA pursues goals that are important for society. The website serves mainly to inform members.
