What is our goal?
At EcoTrac, we’re transforming food systems with agroecological practices, science-based advocacy, and smart policy advice. Our mission: to create practical, science-driven solutions for a fossil-free, chemical-free agriculture that tackles the three biggest crises of our time—climate change, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation.
From studying the impacts of pesticides and fertilizers to promoting soil health and biodiversity, we focus on what works. Whether it’s cutting-edge research, effective policy, or designing site-specific farms, we’re committed to real, meaningful change.
Join us to share knowledge, inspire action, and build a sustainable future. Let’s make this change happen and get in touch with us!
Scientific Analysis
EcoTrac provides evidence-based insights into the impacts of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and industrial farming. Through rigorous research, we offer actionable solutions to improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. Contact us for expert speeches, support your advocacy work, writing research papers, and sharing evidence-based knowledge to drive sustainable change in food systems.
Practical Solution
EcoTrac offers hands-on tools and training to help farmers transition to sustainable farming methods. From site-specific farm designs to regenerative practices like crop diversification and composting, we offer actionable, locally tailored strategies. Inspired by permaculture and agroecology, our approach fosters peer learning and community engagement, equipping farmers to build resilient, productive farms with lasting impact.
Policy Shaping
EcoTrac works with governments and advocacy groups to shape policies that support sustainable, chemical-free agriculture. This includes pushing for bans on harmful chemicals, incentivizing agroecological practices, and reforming subsidies to prioritize soil health and climate resilience. Our policy recommendations are designed to create systemic change that benefits farmers, the environment, and society.

Our deep understanding of pesticide and synthetic fertiliser use, its impacts, and sustainable alternatives enables us to quickly analyze problems and provide targeted, practical solutions. Whether it’s research-backed advice, effective policy design, or hands-on farming strategies, EcoTrac delivers tailored guidance to tackle challenges and drive meaningful change in agriculture.
Silke Bollmohr
Managing Director & Lead Scientist
I am an ecotoxicologist with a PhD in Environmental Science from University Koblenz-Landau, Germany. Since the last 20 years I worked on pesticide risk assessment and possible solutions in Europe and in different African countries. Through my engagement with different stakeholders (academic, NGO, government and industry) I can offer a scientifically balanced view on issues around pesticide use and their impact on human and environmental health. As a permaculture designer and organic farmer I can offer practice based and evidence proven alternatives to pesticide use.
