Practical relevance of the teaching modules:

Wherever possible,teaching is embedded in the context of biodynamic practice. Practical excursions lasting several days are carried out in almost all of our teaching modules. We regularly take groups of students to the Dottenfelder Hof, the Hofgemeinschaft Heggelbach, the Hofgut Rengoldshausen and to scientific research projects such as the long-term INBIODYN trial on biodynamic viticulture at Hochschule Geisenheim University and the Forschungsring e.V. in Darmstadt.

In the conversion group, we work with student project groups over 2 semesters to develop concepts for converting real farms to biodynamic farming methods and/or optimize farms that are already biodynamic. (In 2020/21 Omega 3 Hamel farm)
