Description
Hello fellow hosts and workawayers,
My name is Annika and I'm would love to learn about nature, permaculture, (agro-)forestry, culture and people.
Since I grew up in a rural region of Germany with lots of conventional agriculture, I could see how this way of producing food was exploiting the environment, people and animals. I knew back then that I wanted to take part in changing this system. After finishing school I moved to Berlin and have lived there for the past 6 years. First doing my Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Engineering and then my Master's Degree in Urban Ecosystem Sciences. So I have some theoretical knowledge about environmental issues and also a tiny bit of knowledge about gardening, as I'm part of a communal gardening project in Berlin. But I would really love to learn more about larger scale/ self-sufficient sustainable food production systems, especially permaculture.
I would also love to meet people from all over the world and form new connections with like-minded people.
