We need to live differently to restore planetary balance. Agriculture, energy sources, building materials and consumption must be changed.
At EduFarm you can learn how:
Future-proof agriculture: Regenerative, climate-friendly, resilient, viable, space-efficient, attractive working conditions.
Sustainable water usage: Rainwater catchment, water recycling, less groundwater extraction than formation.
Supporting natural cycles
Promoting biodiversity
Reversing climate change: 100% renewable energy, Carbon fixation in plants and soil
Rebuilding topsoil,
more diversity, open-pollinated varieties, avoiding plastic
Syntropic and other innovative agroforestry methods to enhance the resilience of ecosystems
Self-Harvesting
Areas with a high diversity of crops, inspired by
"forest gardens"
Propagation and sale of trees and shrubs that cope best with Brandenburg's challenging growing conditions
Enjoy idyllic family holidays in nature and simultaneously learn about future-proof living in harmony with nature
Farm-to-table dinners and catering with the produce from our farm
Workshops and farm tours to pass on valuable knowledge
We are going to produce a high diversity of crops for local customers with future-proof (including carbon-negative) methods.
A diverse system is more resilient and higher-yielding, because different plants support each other.
It's also much more beautiful!
Our buildings are designed in such a way that you can experience the planetary boundaries through the architecture. Building materials are mainly from sustainable raw materials.
All our machines are electric, using renewable energy - even our electric tractor, co-developed with GEDES e.V.
The prices of oil and food are closely linked for several reasons::
Direct production and transport costs: Diesel and petrol
Cost of fertilizers and pesticides: many fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, are produced using a very energy-intensive process (Haber-Bosch process) that uses natural gas or other petroleum products as a raw material. Many pesticides and herbicides are also based on petroleum.
EduFarm will only use electric vehicles and will not use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
We look forward to hearing from you!
