Under the direction of Dr. Elfriede Ofner-Schröck and Director Johann Gaisberger , diverse topics were addressed, highlighting the current challenges and innovations in organic farming.
Engaging keynote speeches highlighted new perspectives for contemporary organic farming education and showcased the use of innovative teaching materials. Best-practice examples provided valuable insights into successful teaching concepts and offered practical suggestions for lesson planning. Furthermore, strategies for inspiring young people to embrace organic farming in a sustainable way were presented. A World Café format facilitated intensive exchange, discussion, and networking. In the subsequent future workshop, participants developed concrete ideas and practical approaches for enhanced collaboration in organic education. The informal exchange during the evening gathering fostered personal connections and the sharing of experiences. The following day, participants had the opportunity to attend the comprehensive professional program of the Bio Austria Farmers' Days. A heartfelt thank you goes to our colleagues at Bio Austria for their excellent collaboration in organizing the seminar.
Overall, the organic networking seminar once again provided a valuable platform for deepening the understanding of organic farming and gaining new inspiration for teaching. In addition, webinars are regularly offered to support teachers in their organic farming lessons. These are planned and professionally coordinated by the Organic Farming Institute of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein.
