The Saanenland exotic
Soon to be 39-year-old organic farmer David Perreten from Feutersoey near Gstaad has been president of the Saanenland Agricultural Association since this spring, which aims to promote and safeguard the economic, political, cultural and charitable interests of the agricultural population of Saanenland. With his gray cows, which belong to the endangered breed "Rhaetian gray cattle", and his farm processing, Perreten is an exotic in Saanenland. He also stands out among Gstaad farmers with his consistent organic focus and progressive ideas. Perreten is convinced that the key to a successful future for agriculture lies in the past. To what extent exactly and what he generally understands by sustainable agriculture, he tells us in the video.
People always talk about not spraying pesticides and not using artificial fertilizers, but for me the core of organic farming is closed loops.
