Vegans are increasingly looking for ways to grow their fruit, vegetables and cereals without animal manure “An olive orchard cultivated in a conventional manner is a bloody wound in nature,” declares Johannes Eisenbach as he drives – fast – south along the gleaming new Greek motorways towards Kalamata.

He’s also the accidental inventor of a new kind of compost that could kick-start vegan farming. Continue reading...
