“Safeguarding the Lavender Heritage in Provence”
Since 2012, the Endowment Fund “Safeguarding the Lavender Heritage in Provence” collects donations for research and development programs aiming to find ecological solutions to preserve lavender .
Its mission is to raise funds to adapt production methods to current climate, environmental and social challenges.
We also aim to raise awareness of the risks of lavender dying out in Haute-Provence, in partnership with a number of local players and organisations.
It is by encouraging the commitment of all the players in the region that we will succeed in meeting the challenge.
Why does Lavender need to adapt?
Production methods also need to evolve in order to offer more environmentally -friendly solutions throughout the lavender life cycle, from the production of the plant to its processing into essential oil.
Finally, lavender is faced with an ever-changing regulatory landscape, requiring knowledge and expertise to rapidly evolve.
