The Green Movement is a Spiritual Avant-Garde

The BioFach changed. Less people from other regions of the world, a bit more suits and ties, a bit less woolen socks, and a growing scene of young, bright people. Walking around on the fair, it is incredible to see what an auro some people have here. It brings together a worldwide avant-garde, where the organic is more than just green products, but connected to dedication, social grounding, and spirituality.

This is a power hub, bringing together the worldwide front runners in the organic movement, from Renate Kunast to Vandana Shiva. Despite the financial crisis, this movement will grow. And it is vibrant, because it’s an interconnection of production level, marketing, politics, and a spiritual level. It is about community. Some say, it’s a new religion. That sounds scary. But there might be truth in it. And it is good to keep humor, style and party spirit in. That’s what this young generation has to offer. The challenges are big enough.
