Felix Baumann

I joined Promar International in 2021, as an Environmental Consultant based in Germany. I graduated in agriculture from the University of Hohenheim, where I ran trials on rice varieties under salt stress.

From there, I studied for a master’s in Food Security and Development at the University of Reading, writing my dissertation on rainwater harvesting techniques and water use in Sub-Saharan Africa. My time at Reading has shown me just how differently a topic or problem can be approached and why being open to unexpected or unfamiliar ideas can prove to be very effective.

Away from work, I am very active in Stuttgart’s cultural scene. I have acted in three plays, organised a literature event for seven consecutive years, and founded and managed an open-air stage for music, literature and theatre. I also enjoy being outdoors as often as I can; hiking, running and cycling.
