Agroecology at Gmüeserei Sissach: Garden Tour and Talks
Visit a vegetable-growing cooperative and explore soil, water and food through talks and discussion.
Why it caught our eye
Richard Wymann brings examples from his permaculture project in Niederried, giving the discussion of drought a practical connection to growing food.
What you can expect
The tour introduces the Gmüeserei garden. In the talks, Timur Liwinski joins remotely to discuss food, the gut and mental health. Richard Wymann shares experience from permaculture in Niederried, and Stefan Schwarzer discusses regenerative farming and soil. An interview with Nadia Graber looks at agroforestry and resilience to drought. The programme also introduces the cooperative and the Agroecology Works! network.
