Opinions & Impressions
Here, I share my experiences and opinions in the form of blog posts. The topics are varied and are based solely on my own interests and circumstances at the time.

TarCasso Longevity Plantation: A Field Lab on My Life Path
I’m taking my longevity experiments from the garden to a 21,000 m² field. With the TarCasso Longevity Plantation, I want to grow old tomato varieties, chili and herbs on remineralised soil using basalt rock dust, supported by local farmers, AI and the Flour Yield utility token.
