Success Story

The journey of Giorgos Foufas towards RA started 35 years ago when, after he graduated as an agronomist, he decided to implement ecological farming following Steiner’s standards for organic farming and the philosophical views on land cultivation by Masanobu Fukuoka: “We cultivate to heal ourselves with the food that becomes our medicine, and on the other hand we heal the earth and connect with it, thus having a two-way relationship”. Today, 26 years after starting to implement RA methods, although he recognises the obstacles related to the soil and climate conditions (climate change, urbanisation) as well as social factors, Giorgos Foufas is in constant search for sustainable solutions in alignment with the climate developmnets and believes that RA is a dynamic process where changes, small or bigger, are integrated into the development cycle.
