  • Director, Regenerative Agriculture Consultant at Forest Farmers GmbH & Co. KG
    Jul 2018 - Present · 8 yrs

    We believe combining nature and agriculture is the solution to regenerate natural resources, enabling us to pass on true capital to future generations. Forest Farmers offer consultancy in the filed of regenerative agriculture, ecosystem restoration, farm planning, agroforestry design, project development and implementation. We work goal oriented and make it happen. "Regenerative agriculture allows us to regenerate natural resources while producing vital food. In this way, we as a society can pass on real capital to our children" In regenerative land use systems, natural ecosystem processes are imitated, biodiversity is promoted, and soil and soil life are actively built. Water bodies and biotopes are protected and enhanced. Depending on the production goal, farm structure and land, a combination of trees, shrubs, crops, perennials and diverse livestock is sought to create a resilient production system with as closed a (nutrient) cycle as possible. The range of possible products is very broad, including staple foods such as nuts & grains, fruits, vegetables, meat & dairy products but also animal feed, vegetable oils (also fuels), fibers, building materials, medicine and more.
