AFECO week: Bioland
The first week of the WS 2023/2024 was full of activities for the students of the AFECO master’s program offered by the Institute for Food and Resource Economics.
On Oct 12, they participated in an excursion to the Westerwald region organized by the SNUT team, the research group Socioeconomics of Sustainable Nutrition led by Prof. Dominic Lemken. The group visited a bio farm—Heinrichshof in Burglahr—which also produces a variety of cheeses (https://heinrichshof-westerwald.de/) and learned about milk and cheese production. After some small touristic activity and a full stomach, we visited another bio farm, the Biolandhof Schürdt (https://biolandhof-schuerdt.de/). There, besides producing vegetables, the farm operates an organic supermarket and has an organic food delivery service via subscription. At the end of the day, the students had an overview of several components of the food value chain, including production, manufacturing, distribution, and retailing.
Now we look forward to the next activity!
