A world field in Nürtingen

At the Nürtingen University of Applied Sciences (HfWU), there is an experimental world field on the university’s extension site. This world field is primarily used for the education of the university’s own students. The world field is currently on hiatus – but is soon to be cultivated again. Perhaps an educational project will also grow here, which will also develop offers for the public.

The crops on the world field are (co-)cultivated and cared for by the students. There are other fields around the Weltacker, for example with exciting experiments on mixed crops. You can get an impression here in the video:
