Semester Frühjahrsemester 2024
Angebotsmuster Jedes Frühjahrsem.
Dozierende Else Bünemann-König (else.buenemann-koenig@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt Deepening knowledge in farming systems is essential because agriculture is a major driver for environmental pressures through land use change and the use of inputs in form of energy, fertilizers and pesticides. The European Commission aims at increasing Organic farming in Europe to 25% until 2030, as it is considered as one promising option to solve the current problems of intensive agriculture encountering loss of soil fertility, decrease of biodiversity, the excessive use of natural resources and climate change. The lecture is organised as a lecture series (“Ringvorlesung”), where experts in soil, plant and animal sciences and socioeconomics will outline the principles and practices of organic agriculture, amended by case studies. In a group exercise, the students will develop their own thoughts resilience aspects of organic farming in one topic presented in the lectures, and will present it to the other participants. During a half-day excursion the theoretical material is illustrated on a long-term system comparison experiment and a practical farm in the valley of Leimen.

Lecture 10: Presentation of group work and discussion
Excursion I to the DOK long-term system comparison experiment and (community supported agriculture) at Birsmattehof, Therwil (optional)
Excursion II FiBL Farm: experimental platform animal science, Frick long-term experiment reduced tillage, orchards (optional)
Lernziele The students are familiar with the principles and practices of organic farming. They can evaluate the strength and weeks of the farming systems and know the specific challenges in the areas of soil management, plant production and animal husbandry. The students are capable to judge critically the solutions of organic agriculture in view of a sustainable production.
Detailed “Lernziele” will be provided for each lecture on ADAM.
Bemerkungen Lecturers: Experts of the respective disciplines at FiBL, actively involved in national and European research with a strong link to practical farmers.
