The School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences HAFL is a center that offers Bachelor and Master degree courses, conducts applied research and provides consulting services. Judicious use of water resources is a key subject in all three HAFL domains – agriculture, forestry and food industry –, whereby the efficient and productive use of water in and for agriculture receives particular attention. Besides training students in the rational utilization and management of water, we plan and evaluate projects (incl. CBA) and provide support in all areas relating to water in/for agriculture. In our applied research we develop tools and practices for an efficient and productive use of water in agriculture.
