Friedrich, ein Permakultur Pionier in Spanien
Season 2 · Episode 11
mercredi 30 août 2023 • Duration 38:06
Wir tauchen ein in das aufregende Leben und die Vision von Friedrich Lehmann, der auf den Feldern von Huelva, Spanien, wo er seine Finca hat, den Spitznamen "der verrückte Deutsche" trägt. Aber lass dich von seinem Spitznamen nicht täuschen, denn hinter dem Namen verbirgt sich ein erfahrener Landwirt und Visionär, der sich der Permakultur und seiner Naturverbundenheit verschrieben hat.
Friedrich, oder Federico, wie er in der Region auch genannt wird, nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise von seinen deutschen Wurzeln bis zu seiner Liebe auf den ersten Blick zu Huelva im Jahr 1985. Im Laufe der Jahre hat Friedrich nicht nur das Land restauriert und sich der biologischen, biodynamischen und permakulturellen Landwirtschaft zugewandt, sondern sein Wissen auch weitergetragen und seine Finca als Verkörperung für Permakultur verwandelt.

The regeneration of rural Europe
Season 2 · Episode 10
mardi 20 juin 2023 • Duration 27:26
Luis Leblanc Torres from the farmer collective Alvelal Foods lives in one of the driest areas of Europe, the Altiplano of Murcia. Together with his partners in crime, they are
trying to get people back to their land, to combat the rural exodus. They see restoring the land as an opportunity for giving back while also harvesting and producing food. For Alvelal, regenerative agriculture is not just a cultivation method but a tool for the restoration of a landscape.
The question at the centre of Alvelal Foods' activities: "How can we rebuild a society where the farmer is the protagonist?"
Find out about what Luis had to say about the transformative power of regenerative agriculture by tuning in!

Europa mit den Klimafarmern regenerieren
Season 2 · Episode 9
mercredi 7 juin 2023 • Duration 36:19
"Wir könnten den Klimawandeln tatsächlich sogar umkehren, wenn wir global regenerative Landwirtschaft betreiben"
Philippe Birker, Mitbegründer von Climate Farmers, ist in Geilenkirchen groß geworden. Nach einem Studium in den Niederlanden und der Mitarbeit an Unternehmen wie Fairphone, kaufte er sich zusammen mit einer Gruppe von Freuden ein leerstehendes Dorf in Portugal, wo er begann, sich für regenerative Landwirtschaft zu interessieren. Zentral war dabei für ihn die Frage: "Wie kann ich die Leute aus der Stadt in die Natur bringen?"
Bei einer Pilgerreise zu 60 Landwirten in ganz Westeuropa fand er dabei für sich die Antwort auf viele der Probleme, die wir heute haben: Die Skalierung von Regenerativer Landwirtschaft. Um Landwirten bei der Umstellung zu helfen, gründete er Climate Farmers. Ziel ist, dass Landwirte nicht wie aktuell für mehr Ertrag belohnt werden, sondern für den Aufbau gesünder Böden und Kohlenstoffspeicherung.
Zur Flutkatastrophe die vor ein paar Jahren auch sein Heimatdorf Geilenkirchen betraf, hat die Bodenerosion maßgeblich beigetragen, findet Phillipe. Bodengesundheit aufbauen, so meint er, würde nicht nur die Wasserspeicherkapazität unserer Böden verbessern, sondern auch generell für mehr Resilienz in der Landwirtschaft sorgen.

Season 2 · Episode 8
mardi 23 mai 2023 • Duration 36:41
Life in plastic...is obviously not fantastic. And yet we can't seem to live without it.
In this episode we talk to Garance Boullenger, Project Manager Plastics Initiative at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, about the complexities that are behind our obsession with plastic.
- Why is plastic being "demonized" in the first place?
- How helpful is recycling?
- What can be done to minimize plastic pollution?
- How is plastic related to climate change?
- And why are the alternatives sometimes worse than the original?
Garance's fact-based approach provides us with eye-opening insight on what is probably the most controversial material out there.

Johannes' deutscher Quinoa-Traum
Season 2 · Episode 7
mercredi 10 mai 2023 • Duration 33:13
Johannes Grenzebach beschloss eines Tages sich im Quinoa-Anbau zu versuchen. Was in Peru nichts Ungewöhnliches wäre ist für den jungen Landwirt ein Abenteuer - denn seine Felder befinden sich in Hessen. Als er mit seinen Freunden "Mudda Natur" gründet gibt es über den Anbau der oft als "Superfood" vermarkteten Pflanze in Deutschland noch rund kein Wissen, es ist kein leichtes Unterfangen. Aber er will Menschen mit Glutenintoleranz unbedingt eine heimische Alternative bieten können. Wir sprechen mit ihm über alles Mögliche, wie:
- Seine Geschichte als junger deutscher Landwirt mit einer neuen Idee
- Der harten Weg der Umstellung auf Bio-Anbau
- Alles über Quinoa: Nährstoffe, Nachhaltigkeit, Zubereitungsmöglichkeiten und wie man den bitteren Geschmack los wird
