Программа обучения Organic Farming and Food Systems

Программа обучения "Organic Farming and Food Systems" в University for Sustainable Development Eberswalde

Ökologische Landwirtschaft u. Ernährungssysteme

In view of the "grand challenges" of the 21st century (climate change, loss of biodiversity, demographic change, scarcity of resources), complex social changes must take place in order to achieve a transformation towards more
to achieve sustainability.

Agriculture and food production play a central role in this transformation process. We need to rethink the way we produce, package, market, prepare, consume and dispose of food. Organic farming means doing business sustainably; Food systems designate the entirety of the sub-areas of a society relevant to the food supply. The Master's degree in Organic Farming and Food Systems (OLE) brings these two areas together and enables you to acquire skills and knowledge to analyze and evaluate complex value-added relationships in organic farming and food production. We train interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary specialists who are able to take on management tasks and leadership positions in companies in the agricultural and food industry and to shape their transformation.

Стажировки и практика в программе обучения "Organic Farming and Food Systems"

The second year of study is divided into a practical phase (third semester) and the final project (fourth semester). During the individual practical semester in the agricultural and food sector or in research, students gain an insight into typical content, processes and functional areas of the agricultural and food industry. In addition, the preparation of a research paper (practical phase project) serves to prepare for the preparation of the master’s thesis in the fourth semester.

Учебный план программы обучения "Organic Farming and Food Systems"

The course is divided into two theory semesters, a practical phase and a final phase. The first year of study (first and second semester) consists of three compulsory modules that build on one another and five compulsory elective modules. The students are introduced to the basics of the discipline and practice-related research processes, which are deepened in a practical learning project (project module) in a strategic, application- and exploitation-oriented manner.

1. Semester

The first semester takes place at the HNE in Eberswalde and is characterized by the first major pillar, the module "Introduction to Sustainable Agricultural and Food Systems" (12 ECTS).

There is also the option of choosing three elective modules.

In autumn it is possible to apply for the double degree program.

2. Semester

In the second semester, the research methods module (6 ECTS) follows as a supplement to the first pillar.

The skills you have learned so far have to be put into practice in the further course of the course, for which there is the practical module "Regional value creation in agriculture and nutrition" (12 ECTS).

Here we work closely with the InnoForum.
​​​
3rd semester

You will complete your individual practical semester in the agricultural and nutritional sector or in research. Part of the internship ("Project practical phase") is intended for the preparation of a research paper.

The third semester usually takes place at HNEE.

Double degree students are now going to the ZHAW in Switzerland.

4. Semester

Now it's time to write the master's thesis, for which all students are back at the HNEE.

    Faculty of landscape use and nature conservation
    University for Sustainable Development Eberswalde

    The development of this principle can be seen in the now 30-year "history" of the department as well as in the topics and contents of the five courses based in the department and the priorities in the research activities and the numerous cooperations.

    The Department of Landscape Use and Nature Conservation currently employs over 80 people. In addition to the 20 professorships and currently nine academic employees, there are two employees in the department administration and three in the laboratory. Due to the numerous research projects, the department has over 30 additional technical and scientific employees. In addition, the department has awarded four honorary professors and employs numerous lecturers in teaching.

    The proportion of female employees in the permanent workforce (30 employees) is 57% in the Department of Landscape Use and Nature Conservation. The proportion of female students has also increased continuously in recent years (57% in 2000, 60% in 2005 and 67% in 2011). Among the currently five young scientists, three are doctoral students.
