Students in conversation with researchers

    Students in conversation with researchers

    In the 2021/22 school year, a project was started as part of the “Special Agriculture” course. The aim of the project was to give the students insights into the current research in Gumpenstein. The new installation of the podcast room at the Gumpenstein location under the direction of Michael Kogler created the opportunity to innovatively combine the communication of research with education. This meant that 3L students, divided by topic, were able to ask their questions to researchers in order to deepen their practical knowledge.

    Initially, the students had to think about what was essential for a podcast. They primarily thought about the structure or structure of the conversation. With the help of colleagues Michael Kogler and Mathias Kandolf, they were trained in the setting, more precisely in how to use the technology. In addition to lighting and sound technology, the students were introduced to the correct editing technique. The results are a successful project where research and teaching work together - this would not have been possible without the great commitment of the researchers.

                          During our podcast on the subject of herd management, we spoke to Mr. Häusler Johann . Many exciting questions were discussed, such as: Does tethering still have a future in cattle farming?

                                      Due to climate change, we are having to contend with enormous changes, especially in the alpine pastures.
    We discuss topics such as grazing, water supply, racial adaptation and the world of insects in our student podcast
    with the researcher Dr. Thomas Guggenberger
    from Gumpenstein.

      As part of the LSP lessons, we students, together with the researcher DI Andreas Zentner , made a podcast about manure spreading.
    The topics discussed are:
    ground-level liquid manure application, investment funding and the advantages and disadvantages of the various systems.
