Spring & Autumn School: Paths to Sustainable Agriculture

The Spring & Autumn School of the Alfred Toepfer Foundation F.V.S. is aimed at individuals from the agricultural sector throughout Germany who wish to expand their competencies in the spirit of sustainable and future-oriented agriculture. Students, career starters, and farmers gain access through this non-material support program to targeted training modules, practice-oriented workshops, and regional excursions. The goal is to convey best-practice approaches for climate-resilient cultivation methods and to provide impulses for innovative agricultural concepts. Through professional exchange among like-minded individuals, a vibrant network is created that can actively shape the agricultural transition in the long term.

Registration is possible from early summer 2024, with specific deadlines published annually on the information pages of the Alfred Toepfer Foundation F.V.S. Participation is by application through a standardized procedure; selection considers commitment and professional prior experience. The support does not include financial grants but provides non-material benefits in the form of workshops, expert lectures, and peer-learning formats. Through events distributed nationwide, an interdisciplinary framework is created in which environmentally and climate protection-oriented solutions for agriculture and rural development are developed. The Spring & Autumn School thus offers a sustainable platform for all those who want to actively shape future fields in the agricultural sector.
