Karl Schweisfurth
Edit ProfileCareer
Schweisfurth interned at industrial scale slaughter houses in the United States of America and used his experiences to implement similar industrial food processing in his father"s company. This allowed Herta Foods to develop from a small business to Europe"s largest meat processing company, processing 25.000 pigs and 5.000 cattle on a weekly basis. Shortly before this, in 1984, Karl Ludwig Schweisfurth had started a new food processing business that would treat animals along the guiding principles of the ecological production of food.
This business is called "Herrmannsdorfer Landwerkstätten" and is located in the Bavarian town of Glonn.
Foreign Schweisfurth, his motivation for pioneering ecological farming was that "I suddenly realized that meat from tortured animals cannot be a nurturing source of food for us humans.".
