There are many reasons in favour of organically grown produce. However, the main reason for many is the reduced and limited use of sprays against weeds, which produces healthy vegetables while preserving biodiversity and species diversity. However, organic vegetable cultivation faces various challenges. The heavy soils in the foothills of the Alps are a particular problem, as they do not allow water to seep away easily, making it easier for fungal diseases to spread.
On the tour of the organic vegetable farm ''Gmüas Mattli'' you will learn about other challenges compared to conventional farms, but also about the advantages of direct marketing and zero waste ambitions.
