Crop Sciences

Crop science is the basis of agricultural production. The goal of crop science is to develop crops and cropping systems with the highest possible efficiency in converting light and supplemental resource into Food, Animal feed, Fiber Crop scientists breed crops and develop cropping systems that are profitable and ecologically sustainable. In light of the ever increasing world population and the finite cropping area, this goal remains a key challenge of humanity. Hohenheim offers one of the most extensive study programmes in crop sciences in the world. The scientific infrastructure of the university, with its experimental station and the State Plant Breeding Institute, is unique.
