Exploring agrobiodiversity in practice - the Agrobiodiversity Summer School
In this episode, we delve into the practical application of agrobiodiversity through the experiences of four students who participated in the agrobiodiversity summer school in Hungary – a collaboration between the ZHAW research group Geography of Food, the FiBL and the ÖMKi.
Join us as we explore their learnings and takeaways from visiting diverse case studies that highlight the importance of preserving and promoting agrobiodiversity; a market garden, a national gene bank, a farm following traditional grazing methods with Hungarian Grey Cattle and a project for restoration of abandoned lands.
