Max is our freshly baked team member. He is currently completing his degree in "Environmental and Bio Resource Management" at BOKU. In his bachelor's thesis (available on the homepage under scientific work), he focuses on the success factors for community gardens, and above all, what role garden members and their organization play in this. He discovered his enthusiasm for gardening in a permaculture course. He developed a preference for exotic crops (especially coffee) and then planted his first fruit trees. He was active in the BOKU community garden during the 2017 season and fulfilled his dream of eating self-grown potatoes for the first time. While working with Gartenpolylog, he wants to focus on environmental protection, climate protection, and sustainability.
