Mocked, Battled, Desired

With organic pioneer Ulrich Walter through five decades

by Heike Leitschuh

Description

The small district town of Diepholz lies between Bremen, Oldenburg and Osnabrück, and no one could possibly describe it as “well-known”. Quite unlike the Lebensbaum company, which was founded here by Ulrich Walter in 1979. Those who eat mindfully will probably also be familiar with the coffees, teas and spices of this pioneering organic company, which frequently and repeatedly receives a range of awards for sustainability and now employs around 200 people. Heike Leitschuh draws a lifelike portrait of an entrepreneur of the organic founding generation who turned a small shop into a successful medium-sized company, played a key role in shaping the organic industry, and has offered perspectives for its future.
