"Tropentag" at University of Hohenheim

September 17, 2013

The Tropentag is a development-oriented and interdisciplinary conference. It addresses issues of resource management, environment, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food, nutrition and related sciences in the context of rural development, sustainable resource use and poverty alleviation worldwide.
The annual Conference on Tropical and Subtropical Agricultural and Natural Resource Management (TROPENTAG) is jointly organized by the universities of Bonn, Göttingen, Hohenheim, Kassel-Witzenhausen, Hamburg, and Zurich as well as by the Council for Tropical and Subtropical Research (ATSAF e.V) in co-operation with the GIZ Advisory Service on Agricultural Research for Development (BEAF).
Tropentag 2013 took place at the University of Hohenheim from September 17 to 19.
The mission of FSC is closely related to these issues. In the run-up, the FSC scholars were encouraged to turn in papers and posters for the presentation. During the three days of the “Tropentag” the FSC had an information stand.
