What our networkers say

I am part of the PFN because I see huge potential in it for the further development of organic farming.

We are part of the PFN because we think it is important to have researchers investigate issues arising from practice and to resolve them together.

I am part of the PFN because I am aware of the importance of practice-relevant research for a transformation towards a sustainable way of living and farming, and I value the exchange with farmers and advisors both professionally and personally.

The PFN enables me to analyse problems directly with professional colleagues and to work out possible solutions.

We are part of the PFN because ecology and fairness are indispensable for us as a social enterprise led by the Diakonie.

We are part of the PFN because we like to try out new ideas on the farm in order to implement nature-oriented land management.

I am part of the PFN because I want to help find ways to make our soils fit for the climatic impacts of the future.

We are part of the PFN because continuing education as well as the exchange with colleagues is important to us in all areas, not least in order to gain new insights regarding the challenges of the future.

We are part of the PFN because the preservation of soil fertility is of special concern to us.

I am part of the PFN because research is important to me and I like to network.

We participate in the PFN so that other people can help us to assess whether our actions actually lead to our goals. We then want to share these findings with others!

We are part of the PFN because it is important to us that we integrate people with disabilities into meaningful work processes and because we also want to further develop and optimise organic farming.

I am part of the PFN because I have been doing new experiments in the fields and in the barn every year for 25 years, and now I finally have the chance to do this with scientific support and evaluation in a network. This way I hope to gain an even better assessment of my daily work. This is a great motivation and it is appreciated. I can contribute to gathering new insights for future colleagues and society.
