Judith Rakers: From the Tagesschau to the vegetable harvest on Rügen!

With these news, she encounters mixed reactions; Many of their critics do not understand this lifestyle change, which Rakers feels as unfair prejudice against East Germany. Opinions about their move seem to be strongly influenced by the political situation on site-in the last Bundestag election, the AfD received 37.3 percent of the vote in its future constituency of Vorpommern-Rügen, which illustrates the dissatisfaction of many citizens with current politics.

Since she launched her garden brand "Homefarming - Judith Rakers", Rakers has discovered gardening for herself and has become the extensive self -catering. This initiative was created because it wanted to eat healthy and wanted to become independent of the inflexible shop opening times. She was supported by cultural anthropologists Wolf-Dieter Storl, who inspired her for her own vegetable cultivation. In order to give her experiences and knowledge a broader platform, she launched a podcast, which recently celebrated his one -year anniversary. In now 25 episodes, the podcast deals with topics such as bed planning and the importance of crop rotation for sustainable vegetable cultivation.
