About

Hi, I'm Andreas.

Portrait of Andreas Kuhn

Forest scientist, sustainability manager and founder. I co-founded two companies, one of them an organic food retailer — that teaches you fast what sits between ambition and the loading dock. What stayed is a preference for things that work outdoors in the real world, not just in a slide deck.

Motivation

Why I do this.

A walk through a beech stand — where thinking in long time spans begins.

In forestry, you plan in decades. AI changes work in months. I want to find out how the two fit together.

  1. 2013

    My first publication was about lichens in Bavaria's natural forest reserves: 246 species recorded that hardly anyone notices, and at the same time one of the most endangered groups of species in Germany. Complexity rarely sits in the big picture — it sits in the detail.

  2. 2017/2018

    I co-founded two companies: nurINpur, an organic food retailer, and Nature Consulting for nature conservation, climate protection and environmental education.

  3. 2019

    At inas in Ingolstadt I led software projects for sustainability and the circular economy. That is where it clicked: good tools often move more than good intentions.

  4. 2025

    Since then I have supported companies with sustainability reporting and assurance. Evenings and weekends I build apps, because I prefer trying ideas out.

Passing it on

Passing knowledge on.

Expertise only takes effect once other people can work with it. There are four formats in which I do that.

  • WorkshopsHands-on for teams and groups: from reporting duties to native tree species.
  • KeynotesTalks on sustainability, AI and what the two have to do with each other.
  • Guided walksExplained outdoors: forests, ecosystems and what they tell you.
  • InterviewsContext and background for newsrooms, podcasts and trade media.
