Dr. Urs Niggli, Head of the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture, FIBL Switzerland
Agricultural sciences are characterized by their system-oriented and interdisciplinary approach to better understand and manage farms, landscape and food value chains. The degree programs in Witzenhausen offer young scientists and consultants the best foundations for putting theory into practice.
Organic agriculture is one of the most important measures to re-establish balance in nature. The great threat is that we do not have enough trained organic agronomist in the world. I am very glad that the Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences at the University of Kassel took the lead to provide excellent training.
Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Abouleish, Sekem-Farm, Egypt
Progress in agricultural development requires thorough knowledge and excellent cooperation, two goals shared and collaborated on by the University of Kasssel-Witzenhausen and the FAO. To me the excellence and breadth to which Witzenhausen has integrated science and education in organic agriculture shows, that agricultural science can be locally relevant, globally significant as well as environmentally and socially responsible at the same time.

Studying in Witzenhausen offers the best possible prerequisites for finding employment in the organic food industry. Through its practice-oriented training, the Witzenhausen study location has been proving this for over 25 years.
The organic market is expanding worldwide and needs professionals for its further development. The University of Kassel-Witzenhausen provides both: profound knowledge on organic agriculture and on management and marketing.
Volkert Engelsman, International marketing of organic products, EOSTA Netherlands
In my opinion is Witzenhausen the first address in the world to study Organic Farming: excellent science based research and education, efficient and modern infrastructure, a lovely city and landscape and last but not least nice people from all over the world.

MR Wolfgang Neuerburg, Ministry for the Environment and Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, Düsseldorf
Everywhere in the booming organic sector, creative, committed and well-trained young people like those from Witzenhausen are needed and sought after. Especially in the growing service sector of consulting, trade, logistics, service, communication and education, to name just a few examples, I see good opportunities for the broadly and practically trained students of organic agricultural sciences.
