Biodiversity is one of the foundations of our existence, a major and complex issue – and one that is often overlooked. From FiBL's point of view, a high biodiversity on the farm is an important pillar of good organic farming. Over the next few months, we will be giving a number of specialists the opportunity to share their views on the importance of biodiversity in agriculture in our "Voices on Biodiversity" series.

This time, it's Thomas Baumann's turn. He runs the "Galegge" in Suhr in the canton of Aargau, a leased organic farm covering 39 hectares. The ETH agronomist is not only committed to nature and environmental protection on the farm, but also on the municipal council of Suhr. He also works as a project manager for promoting nature at the Naturama in Aarau. He has been involved in the implementation of the Labiola programme, which has been promoting biodiversity in Aargau since 1991, from the very beginning.
