Advisory Concept

I try to approach the reality of each farming organisation with humility and respect, and to empathise with the visions and realities of each farmer. Before the first visit I ask for the key data of the farm, farm structures and local conditions. Targets are agreed in a consulting plan including financial agreements. Consulting reports or conversion plans are prepared. I offer consulting on the farm, by phone, mail and video conferences.

Projects

Farm conversion projects in Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Austria. Currently I work on a cooperation project between a demeter and organic farm in GER and CZ. Advisory with focus on arable farming, animal husbandry, farm development, biodynamic preparations and demeter certification. Agro-forestry is a new project. In Germany i am involved in national variety trials with grain crops (cereals, legume crops) in cooperation with biodynamic breeders and agriculture authorities.
