Hvor økologisk skal man være som vært?Gennem tiden har der været en del diskussioner om, hvor ”økologisk” eller ”idealistisk” man skal være, for at være vært i VHH / WWOOF-DK. Hvis vi på baggrund af de diskussioner skal forsøge at formulere nogle krav til en vært, så kan vi alt fald sige, at det er helt uforeneligt med det at være vært, at man bruger kunstgødning og sprøjtemidler. Tilsvarende må vi sige, at maden på værtsstederne skal være økologisk – noget nær 100%. Herefter er det så svært at sige noget kategorisk. |
