The aim is to keep the Company sustainable, as it will be enough if the incomes could just cover the outcomes. As an NGO, the FWFF “profit” will be the keeping of the balance in certain ecosystems and the maintaining of grasslands habitats in mountains and lowlands (again in certain protected areas). This is something that an ordinary company could not do, because it always is looking for a financial profit. In such case if not profitable an ordinary livestock breeding company would be closed if it is not bringing any or even not big financial profit. This makes the difference between the ordinary company and the extraordinary one that FWFF is going to create.
In few words it could be said that an NGO could be satisfied even if no financial profit is gained from a certain practice, but if the practice gives the opportunity certain ecosystems and habitats to be maintained in a good health.
