On June 10, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of advisors from the LTZ Augustenberg and the Stuttgart Regional Council to the University of Hohenheim as part of their day trip.

The visit focused on our field trials within the NOcsPS collaborative project. On site, we presented the current status of the trials and the findings to date, and provided an opportunity for questions, discussions, and an in-depth professional exchange.

However, the real value of the day lay in the personal dialogue. Together, we discussed the opportunities and challenges of the NOcsPS collaborative project and brought together scientific findings with experiences from agricultural extension. The discussion focused on topics that are equally relevant to agriculture, research, and advisory services: the resilience of agricultural systems, biodiversity, sustainability, the balance between yield and product quality, as well as processing channels and the strengthening of regional value creation.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the advisors for their keen interest, thought-provoking questions, and inspiring exchange.
