Biography

René Zimmermann is one of the star gastronomes who, 10 years ago, implemented the bio-dynamic and now called Brutal Lokal philosophy of local food cultivation and processing in a guest house in Norway as an intensive version of the Farm-To-Table concept. The kitchen has become a creative food laboratory where experiments with fermentation and wild herbs have been developed exclusively with food and fish grown on the island of Lygra. He now owns a small farm in the Upper Austrian Waldviertel, where he develops bio-dynamic cultivation of wild medicinal herbs and is currently designing a food testing laboratory to use new technologies such as sensorized vertical farming.
