Frankenhausen expert talks: Compost on the field! Strengthening soils, closing cycles
When?
February 20, 2025, 16:00-18:00
Where?
Hessian state domain Frankenhausen, 34393 Grebenstein
What is it about?
The use of compost has many advantages. By stabilizing soil organic matter and important macronutrients, it not only helps to increase soil fertility, but also contributes to the climate friendliness and resilience of agricultural systems. But what about the quality of the composts, are there ways to increase the benefits even more specifically? What legal problems do we face and what is the economic viability?
Together with farmers, consultants and scientists, we will discuss these and other questions. There will be short contributions from Felix Hoffarth (farmer, Hof Eselsmühle), Jonas Ehls (Bioland consultant) and Jörg Schäfer (Department of Agriculture, RP Kassel). The discussion will be moderated by Birge Wolf, University of Kassel.
Who is it for?
All farmers, consultants, scientists, students and interested parties who care about the future of organic farming. Participation is free of charge, but we ask you to register so that we can better plan the catering. anmeldung[at]agrar.uni-kassel[dot]de
