After studying agriculture and completing his doctorate, Löwenstein lived and worked with his family as a development aid worker for the Catholic aid organization MISEREOR in Haiti from 1982 to 1985 and then continued to work in development cooperation for short-term assignments. He also served on the board of Naturland Association, from 1998 to 2014.

In his book “FOOD CRASH” – he uses this experience to develop the thesis that only an organic agriculture and food system can make global food security possible on the long run.
