Center for Organic Farming, University of Hohenheim (309)

Organic farming plays a prominent role in research and teaching at the University of Hohenheim. Teaching and research, in line with the idea of the organism and its interdisciplinary nature, are not covered by one single institute but are rather coordinated and organized by the Center for Organic Farming.
