ECEAT-Poland, the European Centre for Ecological Agriculture and Tourism in Poland, supports small-scale ecological to organic and traditional farms. In this way we help preserve precious cultural and natural landscapes and the traditional way of life of rural people, while supporting the growth of organic farming and nature protection. ECEAT-Poland is non-profit, charitable and educational association. We co-operate with professional tourist agencies that include ECEAT-Poland accommodations in their programmes. Our members are mainly organic farmers who welcome tourists on their farms.
         The main reason for the creation of ECEAT-Poland was to help small Polish farms (which in Poland are led mainly by women) using tourism as a tool, with a strong emphasis on organic farming and ecological tourism. It has benefits for both farmers and visitors, and has a very positive impact for saving the environment. ECEAT-Poland is the only NGO in Poland which connects the three areas of agriculture, tourism and ecology. It also has educational and economic benefits for the farmers as well as visitors. ECEAT-Poland's work to spread the idea of ecological cooperation among farmers and consumers is also unique among Polish NGO’s and has already economically benefitted many women farmers in Poland.
        The pilot Eco-Agro-Tourism project (EAT) was started in January 1993 and at that time a national coordination team was formed in Poland. This core team was later transformed into the independent association non-governmental, non-profit association ECEAT-Poland. The leader of the team, Jadwiga Wietrzna-Lopata, was one of the first initiators of the EAT project. She was very active in promoting the EAT project in Poland at many national and local meetings. Publicity was also given to the EAT project on radio and TV through her efforts. There were also meetings with other ecological NGO’s as well as with governmental authorities in order to work out an organisational and legal framework for the activities. During 1994 ECEAT-Poland was successful in its coordinated struggle for better treatment for its farmers, regarding tax laws, which produced a favourable change in these laws for the farmers.
      In 1995-1996 ECEAT-Poland ran 10 successful student camps on ecological farms. In 1996 ECEAT-Poland co-ran a project for developing ecological awareness for teachers (5 trainings) on ecological farms. From 1996 until the present it has been running Our Common Campaign for Ecological Farmers in Poland which led to the co-creation of the Regional Union for Organic Agriculture and the National Coalition of Organic Agriculture in 1998.
     ECEAT-Poland has been represented at several big tourist fairs in Poland, presented lectures, videos and slide shows in several important public programmes (Jelenia Gora Ecological Days, Neo-Humanistic Ecological Festival, Wiswa Now, Earth Day, Eco-Forum, Kolumna National Ecologists Meeting, International Black Triangle Seminar, International Green Backbone of Europe Conference) and in meetings organise by the ministry of environment, agriculture and integration with the European Union, to propose alternative solutions in the fields of agriculture and tourism.

In 2001 ECEAT-Poland with the project ‘Ecotourism on organic farms – Holiday on an organic farm’ was winner of the prize “Tourism for Tomorrow 2001” sponsored by British Airways and the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The prize “Tourism for tomorrow” has given since 1998 year in six categories for tourism responsible for environment and is the most renowned in this domain.
