Behind the scenes of biological research - Organic meat information platform

In the latest episode of our organic meat podcast, we take a look at where science and agricultural practice directly intersect. Our guest is Walter Starz, head of the Department of Organic Grassland and Arable Farming at the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein. He is one of those researchers who work not only in the office but also directly in the field. And he does so with a clear goal: to make organic farming fit for the future.

 

How can organic grassland remain sustainable for the future?

The scientist Walter Starz also manages land himself, looks after around 30 dairy cows with his team and knows from experience what challenges climate change brings for organic farms.

“We are faced with the task of managing our meadows and pastures in such a way that they remain productive even under changed conditions – longer growing seasons, periods of drought or heavy rainfall,” he explains in the interview.
