Echte Preise, echte Werte: Kostenwahrheit bei Lebensmitteln

The True Cost of Food – ein entscheidendes, aber noch weitgehend unbekanntes Konzept, das unser Ernährungssystem nachhaltiger gestalten könnte. Während die Regale im Detailhandel verlockende Preise zeigen, bleiben die tatsächlichen Kosten der Lebensmittelproduktion unbekannt. Dieser Beitrag erkundet die Bedeutung der Kostenwahrheit und ihre mögliche Rolle bei der Transformation zu einem nachhaltigeren Ernährungssystem.

Nurturing Hungary’s Soils: Understanding Soils in the Carpatian Basin, its Challenges and Possible Solutions

Over thousands of years, Hungary’s soils have been shaped by different geological forces, resulting in a diverse range of soil types. However, man-made compaction, erosion, and the demands of intensive agriculture are endangering Hungary’s soil quality and its biodiversity. Join us, as we explore Hungary’s soil landscape and possible solutions for sustainable soil management.

Transforming landscapes: Balancing tradition, agriculture, and nature on a Hungarian cattle farm

In the countryside of Hungary there is a story of resilience, adaptation and transformation – the story of Csaba Szabó and his farm.

Why is it so important to freeze seeds for ages? Exploring Hungary’s Genetic Heritage

The genetic resources of and within crop species and their wild relatives form the basis of our food production system. They allow varieties to evolve and adapt to changing conditions and are valuable for further breeding programs. However, the genetic diversity of plants is currently decreasing. Hence, it is important to preserve as much of our genetic heritage as possible. During our summer school on agrobiodiversity in Hungary, we had the opportunity to visit the country’s largest genebank, the National Centre for Biodiversity and Gene Conservation (NBGK) in Tápiószele.
