We are currently living in very challenging times and this also affects the agriculture and food industries. In recent months, seemingly forgotten questions have gained importance again:

  1. High level of self-sufficiency despite adverse circumstances?
  2. Enough food for everyone?
  3. Dependencies on external resources also in agriculture? etc. In addition, agriculture is also feeling the increasing pressure caused by climate change, digitalization, soil loss, new animal diseases, etc. It is precisely these diverse challenges that need to be found together to find answers. Organic farming can make a valuable contribution to this!

Accompany organic farmers

Important innovations and adaptations arise where enthusiasm, lateral thinking, specialist knowledge and, above all, practice come together. The HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein and the Bio-Institut strive to prepare this fertile soil and thereby support agriculture in the best possible way through research and advice. It is also important that new knowledge is quickly put into practice and teaching; many seminars and conferences at the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein also serve this purpose.

Interested in research

More than 230 participants from home and abroad took part in the Austrian organic conference , which this time was held online due to Covid-19. The technical range of topics ranged from current grassland issues to pasture farming to sustainable organic corn cultivation, from organic suckler cow farming to dairy farming, from animal behavior to animal welfare and from the environmental effects of agriculture to the significant legal changes that affect organic -Agriculture in the next few years.
