They practice vegetable gardening and agriculture with a regenerative and humus-building approach in collaboration with billion micro-organisms, starting with their own compost production and young plant cultivation, and they market their vegetable products exclusively through weekly markets and community supported agriculture. They are a full-range nursery, with emphasis in salads and in year-round offerings, as well as in supply-driven processing and canning of their own products.

This podcast is part of a larger compendium, where we explore different thoughts and frameworks that can guide sustainable development towards generating systems that serve the needs of the future. Of crucial importance are the ideas that systems need to serve the mass of people, contribute to stabilize ecosystem services and enable an applicable transition. The well-known Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are very essential, but often lack the needed transformation. So dive into the journey – from SDGs to GDS (generating different systems) to hear about holistic ideas for a better future.
The compendium is the work of an international students group of the master's programme Global Change Management (GCM) class 2022/2023, from the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development.
