Lieven on the subject of modern farming

“Breeding pigs in the 21st century is running a professional business. As farmers, we are confronted with nature and the elements every day. Because I am convinced that running a modern business is both an economic and an ecological matter, I invest a lot of attention and resources in sustainability. Wetlands to process manure naturally, solar panels to generate energy, pig feed made to our own recipe ... they are all conscious building blocks of my modern pig farm. And my ambition doesn’t stop there, either ... by putting up a new viewing stable, I am introducing another piece of agricultural history at the St.-Amandshof."
