We are delighted to announce that Sinsoma has been nominated for the prestigious European Award for Ecological Gardening 2025 for our innovative method of recording insect diversity in gardens and green spaces using DNA metabarcoding – without catching or killing a single animal.
What makes this award so special?
The European Award for Ecological Gardening, organised by Natur im Garten in cooperation with the Province of Lower Austria and the European Garden Association – Natur im Garten International, is awarded every two years for outstanding projects in the field of ecological gardening.
For the first time, category 3, ‘Trends for the future – new knowledge, new diversity’, focuses on products, processes and services that sustainably improve ecological gardening through innovation. This is exactly where we have established ourselves with the Biodiversity DNA Check.
Why this is a special award for Sinsoma
Innovative approach: Our DNA methodology enables a comprehensive biodiversity analysis using only the wash water from plant parts – without any interference with wildlife.
Measurable impact: The detailed report provides in-depth insights into insect diversity and their roles in the ecosystem – ideal for evaluating and managing biodiversity-promoting measures.
Social significance: Through precise documentation, we create transparency and a sound basis for decision-making for both private and public sectors.
Award ceremony: November 2025 (expected date)
