A white cover is stretched over the organic herb fields of the family Gluderer. They have been growing organic herbs for years but their neighbors are all conventional apple farmers, using a lot of pesticides. Strong winds in the valley often blow the pesticides onto the Gluderer’s fields. To protect their harvest they have already spent around 100.000€. Besides the very expensive white cover they have also built a 12-meter high water wall, which is turned on during the neighbors use pesticides.
