About the project

For this purpose, experts will be invited to an interdisciplinary panel discussion and, accompanied by music and regionally sustainable fare, the topics of innovative agriculture will be discussed. The goal is to support a networking of experts in this field and to raise awareness. This miniature symposium will prepare areas of programming surrounding the series GLOBALOCAL – Building the New and asks questions that are of great relevance both regionally and globally: how can an agricultural future work?  What contributions can cultivation methods that are in harmony with nature make to the preservation and support of biodiversity? Which innovative operational models will the next generation of farmers choose?
