On March 7, 2025, Krishna Valley ISKCON Hungary received an extraordinary honor at an Indo-European Business Council’s gathering held in Budapest. The conference recognized it as the “Most Sustainable EcoFarm Village in Europe.”
Krishna Valley Indian Cultural Centre and Eco Farm in Hungary is one of the largest and oldest ecovillages in Europe. It is a member of the Global Ecovillage Network of Europe, and its research institute has an observer status in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Krishna Valley’s representatives cooperate and share their experiences with a wide range of international organizations, including universities and higher educational institutions.
The 300-hectare farm was established in 1993 to educate people about the values of ancient Vaishnava culture, self-sufficiency, organic farming, cow protection, vegetarianism, and a natural, God-cantered lifestyle.
The center of the community, which consists of 150 monks and families, is the Radha-Syamsundara temple. Although it was built in the local architectural style, inside, it is richly decorated with Indian motifs, pillars, colorful dioramas, and paintings.
