Currently working in export with Fazer Mills and Finnamyl. Within the Food Sector my speciality is organic food business where I have been active in different roles since the 1980's. I have moved through the organic food value chain from extension service for biodynamic and organic farmers in the 1980's sto small-scale organic bakery to marketing, consulting and since the late 1990's to organic food export and trade. In 2004-2011 I created the Organic Food Finland Export Group together with Finpro and have since acquired experience of organic food exports of some 20 Finnish manufacturing companies.I have MSc degree in Agronomy from Helsinki University. Apart from business I am also active in the permaculture movement and study sociocracy. I live with my wife on a 12 hectare off-grid smallholding in Southern Finland trying to develop a sustainable lifestyle inspired by permaculture principles. We hold courses about permaculture and sociocracy. We have 6 children and 5 grand-children and 2 dogs.
