Agriculture is facing major challenges. The ecological orientation of the study program at the University of Kassel therefore sees itself as an important supplement and further development of traditional approaches in agricultural economics.

The goal of the study program is to train generalists in ecological agriculture who acquire scientifically based, application-oriented competencies for managing and advising agricultural companies and associations.

The program also provides a broad spectrum of general knowledge and competencies in agricultural and food economics outside of organic agriculture. Students can acquire professional and scientific competencies that open up new segments of the labor market for them, including business start-ups.
