The Founder, Dr. Philipp B. Schuster

From a young age I already had concerns about learning more about sustainability. One of my former high school teachers inspired me a lot and since then my path was to know and learn more about sustainable economics.

In the last 20 years my personal mission was to be more sustainable. I soon realized that there are many challenges to face and many things to learn. I experimented a lot to see new ways of living and doing business.

During my subsequent studies at the University and my career, I was always eager to understand more and find solutions to the most important challenges in the world. Fortunately, I found the value of the collaboration and realized that many hands are already making a great effort.

When I learned about permaculture and regenerative agriculture, I realized how damaged our food system is and how this affects us as human beings. Since then, I wanted to learn and share more about how to establish systems that allow humans and nature to thrive.

On the economic side, the Economy for the Common Good and Corporate Sustainability is the center of my interest. Understanding how companies and institutions, as well as individuals can contribute to a sustainable future, is key for me and for our courses.

During my personal career, I realized that sustainability is an issue that should pay special attention to the human beings and their relationships. Sustainability without humanity is like a dead cause. This is good intention without action! For that reason, I feel in my heart that our school offers courses that help us grow as individuals on the social and emotional level and help us act now!

Everything is a seed and I strongly believe in the high value of the seed that we sow every day. It is a daily job to sow and cultivate the right seed and only with patience and resistance will a good harvest come. So let’s put our hearts to work and sow together good practices for sustainability.

I hope to welcome you one day to Seeds for Sustainability ».

Mission

Our mission in Seeds For Sustainability is to empower people to be the engine of change.

We understand our courses as seeds for sustainability and our philosophy is based on a well-known parable:

A farmer went out to sow his seeds… .. These seeds fell in good soil. They sprouted, grew and bore fruit, some of which multiplied thirty, sixty or hundreds of times (Gospel of Mark, 4 The Parable of the Sower)

In the same way we believe in learning to help us grow and improve for a better future, preparing the ground for sowing and thus producing a good harvest. We believe that each seed counts and the more we sow, the more we will reap.

In this way we want:

  • Empower people through education and capacity development.
  • Offer courses to people who are willing to lead the change.
  • Offer tools that allow you to manage this change.
  • Offer courses that are like seeds for sustainability.
