CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Well I think diversity is the word which would characterize me best. Experiencing different tastes of life is what I love to do.
It is not only about one discipline but seeing and making connections between multiple disciplines what matters to me.
So my goal is to bring the discipline of Food Forestry to a higher level. My skills involve, Design, Implementation, Realization, Teaching, Research. My background as an architect comes of great use.
All sounds complex but most of it comes down to sustaining our basic needs in a common sense way. Common sense meaning understanding and respecting the geologic, ecological and social context you design in. Common sense sometimes seems very special in a world many things are done backwardly ; p
PHILOSOPHY
Experience you cannot learn

What I find important characteristics in friends is solidarity and flexibility without the losing their integrity.
