One thing was already clear when Landgarten was founded. We don’t go our way because others do too – or simply don’t. We go our way because we think it’s the right one.
More than 30 years ago, this meant for us to produce organic instead of conventional products. Not because it was cheaper, more lucrative or contemporary. But because it was the right thing for us. Now we are again at a fork on our way. And here, too, we haven’t opted for the simpler, more cost-efficient way. But for the path that feels right for us: the path towards CO2 neutrality.
We are happy and proud to announce:
We produce organic snacks in a climate-neutral way!
Through the most energy-efficient production possible, implementation of heat recovery systems, procurement of electricity from renewable energy sources, installation of photovoltaic systems, as well as support for climate protection projects,
Landgarten produces organic snacks CO2 neutral.
Avoided deforestation in the Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest today still covers an area of over 8 million square kilometers. This corresponds to about twenty times the area of Germany. In the past few decades, however, deforestation has advanced rapidly through clearing for agriculture and illegal logging. Since 1990 alone, Brazil has lost almost 10% of its total forest area. Part of the problem is that a Brazilian law allows unmanaged areas to be occupied without land ownership rights and parts of the tree population (e.g. for pasture areas) to be felled. After only five years, the forest area will then legally become the property of the land user.

Clean drinking water
According to a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, water scarcity will be one of the most acute environmental problems in Southeast Asia in the near future. The many driving factors of this development include, among others, the overuse of the groundwater, a sharp increase in population and the decline of the Mekong and Red Rivers.
Cambodia is located on the upper reaches of the Mekong River Delta and is therefore acutely exposed to these dangers. In addition, the existing water in Cambodia is impure. Due to inadequate wastewater methods and a lack of centralized infrastructure, over 66% of the population have no access to clean drinking water. Poor quality aboveground waters and rainwater stored in tanks are among the main sources of water for household consumption.
