University of Kassel best university in the field of agricultural engineering

As part of the award ceremony of the 5th agricultural university ranking of the magazine topagrar at the Eurotier in Hanover on November 17, 2016, the University of Kassel was named the best university in Germany in the field of agricultural engineering. After achieving good rankings in previous years, this year the university took the top spot. Kurt Glück (Head of Marketing at Horsch) accepted the award on behalf of Björn Bohne and Dr. Uwe Richter. In response to the question posed by Claus Mayer from the topagrar editorial team, "Is it just a coincidence that the best teaching in agricultural engineering takes place in organic agricultural sciences of all fields?", Björn Bohne replied that there is a clear system-oriented concept behind the lecture that focuses on the student. Just as in organic farming, where the farm is also seen as a system that must be managed holistically. There can therefore be no question of coincidence. The industry representatives attending the award ceremony were very interested in the very good results achieved by the University of Kassel. Mr. Glück from Horsch, in particular, announced that he would now increasingly include this location in his search for employees.
