"Organic farming and sustainable food production have been close to Charles' heart for a long time. He was already committed to it when organic products were nowhere near as established as they are today. However, his interest in this area is hardly known in Germany," reports Professor Hartmut "Hardy" Vogtmann, who is regarded as a pioneer of scientific research into organic farming at universities and headed the first department in Germany for "Methods of Alternative Agriculture" at the Kassel University of Applied Sciences in Witzenhausen until 1994.
