Hermannsdorfer Farm is a less industrial farm as it goes for a more traditional farming style. This helps to limit waste and provides animals a more humane living arrangement however this can result in a higher price for the products they create. For instance, the products they sell in the farm's store tend to be more expensive than products created from more factory-like or industrial farms. This is the common dilemma with sustainability because it is a very important concept however it can be more expensive. This results in the action of preserving our planet becoming a luxury rather than a necessary change. People from lower classes can't be active in sustainable choices due to the expenses that may come with it rather that is buying organic produce or having grassfed meat. Although sustainable farming should be encouraged, that doesn't mean that it should be an expensive endeavor to do so. If we can normalize sustainable farming, it would be less of a luxury and more of a required norm.

There is more of a focus on chickens, sheep and pigs at the farm and there is this new perspective of the argument of eating or not eating animals. The reality is that humans are a part of the foodchain and it is natural for animals to eat other animals however it should not be in excess. So humans eating animals isn't the problem, rather the treatment of these animals and how much of the meat is being wasted should be at the forefront of concerns.

The area of where the farm is a hinterland of Munich, which shows how it is possible to use the resource of hinterlands in a more sustainable way.

There were many products that used things like mason jars and paper bags to provide more sustainable packaging.
