Inhalt:

In this module, all students enrolled in the Double Degree programme "EUR-Organic" at the different partner universities come together for a one-week field course which is followed up by an E-Learning phase. In the field course, teachers of all partner universities (BOKU, UHOH, WULS, Arhus) participate and introduce students to different aspects of organic food systems e.g. food quality of organic food.

During the field course the students become acquainted with different parts of the organic food system (farmers, processors, traders, administrative personel). In addition, the students gain detailed information on organic farming and the organic food sector in European Countries.

The one-week field course 2019 will take place at Lake Constance, a region with intensive agricultural (fruits, vegetables) and touristic use and a large share of organic producers and processors. The region is at the same time an important area for environmental and nature protection. User conflicts are therefore a key concern for further rural development.

In the field course, students learn how to use media like film and fotos for documentation in science. Students are introduced to system theory and system analysis. These methods will be applied later on while preparing the seminar papers during the e-learning phase.

During the semester, the students will meet with the teacher in order to deepen their understanding of the organic food system.
