How will we feed the world in the future? How can food be produced in an environment of climate change, loss of biodiversity, and resource scarcity?
The Bachelor’s degree program in Agricultural Biology deals with these and other exciting questions about efficient, sustainable, and safe agricultural production. Here you will study at the interface of biology and agricultural sciences and look at the biological systems of plants, animals, and soil in the agricultural sector. In order to optimize future agricultural production, you will learn what happens on a cellular and molecular level when plants and animals adapt to changing environmental conditions. If you want to help secure the food of tomorrow and develop innovative solutions, then the research-oriented degree program in Agricultural Biology is the right choice for you.
How do we design agriculture such that it feeds people, protects animals, and protects the climate at the same time? How can agricultural production be implemented in a sustainable, regional, socially just, and economically viable way, even under the conditions of climate change, scarcity of resources, and global competitive pressure?
The Bachelor’s degree program in Agricultural Sciences deals with these and other key questions about the future of agriculture. In this program you will look at agricultural systems in all their complexity: from agronomy and animal husbandry to business management and technology to environmental and energy issues. In practical courses and an integrated internship, you will learn how innovative concepts for sustainable agricultural production are developed and implemented. If you want to play an active role in shaping agriculture and contribute to solving global challenges, the Agricultural Sciences degree program is the right place for you.

In the area of Biobased Products and Bioenergy, students look at implementing the change from fossil to biogenic resources. On the one hand, this includes agricultural production of biobased resources, and on the other hand the process of using the materials and energy to produce electricity, heat, and fuel.
- Comprehensive competence in conversion technology and bioenergy
- Teaching with the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology in Stuttgart
- Outstanding international reputation
- Interesting career prospects

How can we feed 10 billion people worldwide in a sustainable and future-proof way by 2050? How can the agriculture sector respond to climate change, species loss, and scarce resources? And how can we create a resilient, sustainable food system from farm to fork? How can we design a food system that is efficient, sustainable, and equitable?
The Bachelor’s degree program in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems addresses these important challenges at both the local and global levels. By combining agricultural and natural sciences with economic and social sciences, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to bring about sustainable change in the way the world produces and consumes food. You will explore the complex relationships between agricultural practices, policy, and consumer behavior, and learn how to promote true sustainability. If you’re ready to help shape the future of nutrition and make a difference as a global change-maker, this research-oriented, English-language Bachelor’s degree program is the perfect fit for you.
