This seminar adresses conflicts and synergies between agriculture and nature protection. It is primarily directed to students who have selected the Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Master line and wonder why there is so little to learn about agriculture. It is agriculture that causes most of the conflicts with nature conservation as both land uses compete for the rare space. In this seminar, we discuss different conflicts, different viewpoints and different solutions and work out synergies between the conflicting aims and how they can be implenented.
