Founder of AGECO

Pierre Muller is the visionary founder of AGECO, a decentralized organisation dedicated to bridging the gap between ecological farm design and holistic orchard and vineyard management. With extensive experience in consulting for companies, private individuals and communities, Pierre excels in guiding multicultural teams in soil and plant care to support regenerative farming operations.

Pierre’s expertise spans a wide range of practices, including agroecology and permaculture, to transition your operations into a regenerative system. His work adapts to various environments, from drylands to rainforests, in both temperate and tropical climates. Pierre is also dedicated to connecting ethical farmers with loyal collaborators, fostering a strong sense of community and resiliency.
 

Background and Experience

Pierre's knowledge is deeply rooted in his learning from farmers, biologists, agroecology practitioners, and permaculture pioneers such as Rosemary Morrow, Robyn Francis, Clea Chandmal, Eric Escoffier, and Pascal Depienne. He has also worked alongside international consultants like Pascal Madevon and Rico Zook, gaining insights into food transformation, viticulture, winemaking, and mushroom cultivation.

Pierre has acquired significant hands-on experience through his work and residency in diverse locations including Polynesia, Nicaragua, Honduras, India, Colombia, Madagascar, Canada, France, Switzerland and Spain. He is fluent in English, Spanish, and French, allowing him to communicate effectively across different cultures and regions.

His winemaking journey has led him through diverse terroirs. In the Okanagan valley, he honed his craft at Uppercase Winery, discovering the balance between innovation and tradition. In Châteauneuf-du-Pape, he deepened his "savoir-faire" at Maison Brotte, working amidst one of the world’s most iconic appellations. Later, in the heart of the Alps, he joined Pierre-Elie Carron in Fully, Switzerland, where he experienced the precision and care that mountain viticulture demands. Each chapter has shaped his vision of wine as both an art and a dialogue with the land.
