PAST EVENT Speak-up with Linda Robben from Natural Farming network Belgium

Video recording of the online event on August 29, 2024

In Speak-up we go into deep conversations about why and how someone is contributing in their own local environment. What drives them, why are they doing what they are doing, a lot of times unrecognized,  often without any financial compensation.

Linda is a great example of someone who was determined not to let her condition decide her life. Instead, she broke through all mainstream medical ideology, decided that she was not her handicap, but simply Linda, and that she would determine what her life would look like and not anyone or anything else. At the age of 28, she left for India alone in a wheelchair. A few months later she returned walking.

This reversal brought out a fiery power within her. Mixed with her passionate personality, this led to a deep desire to contribute to rising consciousness, the earth, trees and nature.

Natural farming came her way two years ago. The inner flame was fanned even deeper. Since then, Linda has worked completely voluntarily in recent years to raise awareness of natural farming in Flanders and the Netherlands.

“Due to my physical condition, I’m not capable of applying natural farming myself, but I can contribute to it’s movement” she stated.

  • She coordinated weekends in all provinces of Flanders to spread the philosophy and practice of Natural Farming.
  • She runs a whole team of volunteers to help each other start more natural vegetable gardens and spreading the Natural Farming vibe.
  • She co-created a crowdfunding to bring  the practical knowledge of Natural Farming to people in need in Kenia, so they can cultivate their own food.
  • She set up a telegram channel where people can ask questions.
  • She connected people from her network in other countries, so that Natural Farming also gained a foothold in Spain, Hungary and England.
  • She started the Natural Farming forum www.naturalfarming.be.
  • She decided that Kutluhan Özdemir his practical experience with natural farming was so valuable that she wanted to turn it into a book, which will be published soon.
  • And the list goes on…

Two fiery visionary women together. That promises a lot of hilarity, passion and vision.
