About Robert Haas
This is how Robert is a Changemaker:
The place for which Robert feels a fondness or connection:
The change Robert passionately wants to happen: Bio
Born and bred in Germany's Blackforest. I grew up in and with the hospitality industry. It is literally in my veins*. After a long journey through Germany's education system, I ended up as a simple organic baker in New Zealand.
On the way I saw what nourishes us evolve as produce from the soil (Norwegian organic farms), transform in our hands to food and meals (food industry and hospitality) and found it as a faceless commodity in supermarkets (retail administration).
Today I life a simpler live, the more I can make myself, the more I enjoy it.
*I wonder how all the little projects described here on these webpages at Changemakers solve the challenge of business succession, and/or the handing down within a family (if applicable). What happens when the main "driver" leaves? Projects just cease?
I saw first hand the devastating effects of small family businesses being handed down over generations. It sure creates culture, continuity and heritage, but it just as sure isn't a natural process happening by itself, as it seemed to have done in the past.
