Sustainability

A large number of research projects of the University of Hohenheim are dedicated to concrete sustainability issues.

This is demonstrated by the university-wide specialization bioeconomy, scientific centers such as the Research Center for Global Food Security and Ecosystems or the Food Security Center, the research group “Regional climate change,” and the research training group Water – People – Agriculture, or the Land-Atmosphere Feedback Observatory (LAFO).

• Bioeconomy - leading topic of the University

• Bioeconomy Lab - cooperation and networking platform of the university

• Bioeconomy Research Program Baden-Württemberg | Hohenheim Bioeconomy Head Office

• Research projects at the university on the topic of sustainability

• Overview list of publications on the topic "Sustainability" (HohCampus)

Depending on the faculty, 35 to 80 percent of lecturers state that sustainability is a main or secondary topic in their current courses. This includes degree programs explicitly geared toward sustainability, such as the international Bioeconomy Master’s program.

Our highly committed and creative students work on many specialized sub-projects around sustainability for seminar papers or their final theses.

We strive to implement sustainability in the day-to-day operations of the University. We were one of the first universities in the country to produce comprehensive carbon accounting for 2019 – to gain as complete an overview as possible of emissions, identify hotspots, and target CO2 savings.
