# About me

Grew up in Northern Denmark, on a small organic farm. Growing up on a small farm has taught me a lot about agriculture as it was done in the old days. That include the value of proper soil care, knowledge that seem to have been long lost in the modern industrial agriculture. Having grown up in the countryside I really love spending time in the nature and I am rural minded to the bone.

My dad's strong anarchic and anti-authoritarian/anti-bureaucratic attitudes is something that have shaped my way of thinking and have been a decisive factor in my personal development.

Beside from activities such as historical re-enactment, graphics and art, photography, nature and various DIY projects; my central interest is in social science, especially on history, development issues and Marxian economy - mainly gravitating on the rural question, the dialectics of the development of rural poverty and the dialectics of the rural-urban relationship. I have a Masters degree in Social Science.
