Speaking
I speak about my travels through the Emerald Triangle and my expedition through Nepal, with a focus on regenerative cultivation, soil biology and what traditional growing cultures still have to teach the modern industry. In German and English.
The audience ranges from home growers to production managers. 45 to 90 minutes, depending on setting and depth. For trade shows, technical conferences and internal training.
Mary Jane Berlin, 10th anniversary
A great honour, by far the youngest speaker in the programme. A talk together with Lorenz Minks about two ways of growing the same plant. He from the mineral perspective, I from the organic one. Not a debate, but an attempt to make visible where the approaches actually differ and where only the terms do.
Mary Jane is the largest cannabis trade show in the German-speaking world. A format in front of a professional audience used to checking claims.
Topics
Terroir in cannabis cultivation
What location, soil and climate actually do to the plant. Why the same genetics turns out differently in two places, which factors are measurable, and why small operations can draw an advantage from it that large ones cannot replicate.
Regenerative cultivation
The difference between an ingredient list and a system that carries over years. What regenerative concretely means, where the line to organic runs and what that means for economics and supply chains.
JADAM and DIY inputs
How to work with local raw materials instead of shipping products halfway around the world. Practical production, IMO collection, fermented extracts and the question of what really has to be bought in.
Soil biology and living soil
Soil food web, microbiology, nutrient cycles. Why soil is not a substrate, how soil life builds up over cycles and how to document results instead of guessing.
