Section overview
Description
Life and Food Sciences, Land Use and Environment are three future-orientated fields of research that are at the centre of 21st century scientific interest. The work carried out by the scientists at the Weihenstephan Science Centre revolves around guaranteeing the quality and quantity of food for human consumption while simultaneously protecting ecological, economical and social resources in accordance with the central themes of 'health' and 'sustainability'.
