Guenther Wallenhoefer is an organic farmer from Italy’s northern most province South Tyrol. He lives in the small town of Laatsch where he has been fighting together with other activists against the heavy use of pesticides by local apple farmers. The area is one of the biggest connected fruit cultivation fields in Europe. Pesticides threaten the harvest of the few organic farmers in the valley. The strong winds often blow the pesticides from the neighbors onto their fields. In August of this year a referendum in the town was held, initiated by Mr. Wallenhoefer and his colleagues. 75% of all inhabitants voted for a ban of all pesticides in the farming area of the town. At the time the portrait was taken, the future of Mr.Wallenhoefers organic farm was still unsure since it was before the referendum. The positive outcome might shine much further than just his region in Italy but throughout all of Europe, since this is the first time that a town has voted like this in the European Union.
