New online seminar series for teachers at agricultural schools
The HBLFARaumberg-Gumpenstein is actively committed to quickly communicating research results to young people and supporting teaching at agricultural schools.

BIO AUSTRIA has launched an exciting educational project on (organic) cattle breeding in 2024 in close collaboration with the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein Organic Institute and the main players in (organic) cattle breeding in Austria.
Raumberg-Gumpenstein has, for the first time, calculated the effect of all greenhouse gas emissions on the energy balance of the atmosphere for a region (the federal state of Carinthia). These results and additional life cycle assessments of food production in the state were summarized in the concept of functional climate protection. This provides decision-makers with a new, innovative tool for defining climate protection measures.

Adaptations to climate change must be implemented thoughtfully and well supported on farms. The existing close connection between agricultural education, advice, research and practice is very helpful.
