MICHEL JACOBI -Saving the Carpathian water buffalo and supporting the slow food movement.

Jeremy Schwartz Season 2 Episode 11

In the most western part of Ukraine, Michel has dedicated his life to maintaining the biodiversity of the wild Carpathian Mountains. His work includes running a livestock farm, managing an NGO and producing buffalo mozzarella cheese. He is a true believer in traditional, sustainable farming and he helps to support and educate those seeking to live in a simple, natural, alternative way from the dominant western culture. 

In this episode, Michel and Jeremy discuss what drove Michel to move and live in the Carpathian Mountains over a standard city lifestyle. Michel speaks about the extraordinary work he is doing to save the Carpathian water buffalos, he further explains the value and benefits of small-scale farmers and traditional farming over large-scale industrial farming. The true taste and art of buffalo mozzarella are broken down and Michel explains why he values his buffalos’ cheese so highly that he does not want to sell it to just anyone.

Michel Jacobi is a German Ecologist who has fallen in love with the Carpathian Mountains and lived there for 11 years. Please visit his website and Facebook to learn more about him and his work.
