IN MEMORIAM TO DR. RETO INGOLD, 1961-2024 

He about himself

Active in biodynamic agriculture since 1982 and fascinated by this holistic cultivation principle for agriculture. Specialization in training and consulting. Since 1995 with his own consulting firm worldwide with courses, lectures, seminars, individual and group consultations on the way. Many years in the training college of the Swiss Biodynamic Vocational Training.

I am interested in the resource-conserving cultivation of rural agriculture, which worldwide cultivates and cares for the soil from which we all feed. I support the development of farmers’ skills so that they can continue to perform this task sustainably in the future.

We about him

Reto’s work in international DEMETER consulting was much more than simple biodynamic knowledge sharing. He fostered peace and the creation of peace substance. He brought people together and opened their eyes to a future worth living for. Reto always saw it as his task to support and accompany people in their projects and in their development towards independence, personal responsibility and professional competence. In this way, he was always a teacher and a friend who was loved by those who knew him.
Once Reto had discovered and experienced the importance of a task and an initiative, he invested all of his energy into it – his entire wealth of experience, his absolute awareness of quality, his love of the earth, nature and people.
Dear Reto, in this spirit we realize your mission to take up and carry on your work. We thank you!
