Research

Research at the Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences is internationally oriented and is reflected in numerous interdisciplinary research projects. We focus on future topics in organic agriculture and the food industry. Young and experienced scientists combine knowledge from different disciplines in the three main research areas "Improvement of organic cultivation and animal husbandry methods and optimization of nutrient cycles", "Analysis and evaluation of social demands such as environmental and animal protection, health and public welfare" and "Development of sustainable food systems from the field to the plate". The Faculty has access to modern laboratories, a research greenhouse and a tropical greenhouse as well as an organically managed teaching and experimental farm. We are among the strongest departments in terms of third-party funding at the University of Kassel.
