About the author
As a biologist and biochemist, I am professionally involved in science, and as a lecturer in science communication at universities, I teach others how to make complex knowledge accessible. But my greatest passion? Gardening and sustainable food production.
I have created a small food forest, a high-stemmed orchard full of fruit trees and a garden bursting with native plants – and the insects and birds that go with them. But no matter how lush and blooming my garden is, I am very concerned about the climate and the decline in biodiversity. That is why I founded the Turfvrij Foundation in 2021, together with Philipp. Because without peat areas we will not achieve the climate goals – and without healthy soils there is no future for nature.
Mijn missie? Tuiniers laten zien dat duurzaam en regeneratief tuinieren niet alleen mogelijk is, maar ook de beste manier is om een schitterende, bloeiende en gezonde tuin te creëren.
