For all curious students who want to get involved in environmental and nature conservation and are looking for input, inspiration, and ideas!
The biodiversity experts Marina Moser and Claudia Köcher-Aust from the Initiative Bunte Wiese Stuttgart, the University of Hohenheim, and the Natural History Museum Stuttgart offer you the opportunity to dive into the exciting world of insects with the online workshop "Ausgesummt - 5 Dinge, die jeder gegen das Insektensterben tun kann" ("Buzzed out - 5 things that everyone can do to combat insects dying out"), give suggestions on how everyone can protect native insects and enable an exchange and joint development of ideas.
The event is part of the creative competition FUTURE MADE BY YOU. This competition was launched by the University of Hohenheim as part of the Bioeconomy Science Year 2020/21 and calls on young people to show their ideas for species, nature, and environmental protection.
Ideas generated during the workshop may be submitted for the creative competition and have a chance to win one of the prizes!
Register, join us at the workshop, and be sure to spread the word!

The University of Hohenheim is organizing the Hohenheim Talks About the Future as part of the Science Year 2020/21 "Bioeconomy". The next event in the series will be held on 14 October from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. on the topic:
Should meat be off the global menu?
We consume around 70 kilograms of meat on average per year (Fleischatlas 2021, Böll Foundation) - the equivalent of around 350 steaks. Yet simply halving our meat consumption could sustainably protect the future of our planet and our health.
What would happen if we all gave up meat? Does this make sense for everyone? How can people be better educated and thus made fit for a conscious change in diet? Would that satisfy the world’s hunger? And is the environmental impact actually lower?
Anyone interested is invited to participate in our online discussion!

- Dr. Beate Gebhardt
University of Hohenheim, Department of Agricultural Markets
Head of BEST (Business Excellence and Sustainability Transformation) Initiative - Dirk Liebenberg

Auch im Wissenschaftsjahr 2021 Bioökonomie tourt das Ausstellungsschiff MS Wissenschaft im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung quer durch Deutschland und nach Österreich. Auf dem Schiff erhalten Sie einen Einblick in die Bioökonomie, d.h. die nachhaltige Form des Wirtschaftens, die auf nachwachsende Ressourcen setzt. Es geht um Mikroorganismen und Rohstoffkreisläufe, um neue Wirkstoffe aus der Natur, Lebensmittel der Zukunft und um politische und gesellschaftliche Fragen, die sich auf dem Weg zu einer biobasierten Wirtschaft stellen. Unterschiedliche Exponate aus Wissenschaft und Forschung laden zum Entdecken, Ausprobieren und Mitmachen ein.
Mit an Bord der MS Wissenschaft ist das Exponat "Neues aus Biomüll" des Fachgebiets Konversionstechnologien nachwachsender Rohstoffe der Universität Hohenheim. Dieses befasst sich mit der Frage "Wie können Produkte aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen erzeugt werden, ohne dem Nahrungsmittelanbau Konkurrenz zu machen?". Viele Produkte können wir inzwischen aus Pflanzen statt aus Erdöl oder Kohle herstellen. Aber wenn wir Kleidung, Frischhaltedosen, Computergehäuse, Möbelteile, Medikamente und Materialien für Batterien mit biologischen Stoffen produzieren, entsteht ein neues Problem. Flächen, auf denen diese angebaut werden, stehen nicht mehr für unsere Nahrungsmittel zur Verfügung. Doch es gibt einen Ausweg: Wir verwenden die nicht-essbaren Nebenprodukte der Lebensmittel. Und je mehr Nahrung produziert wird, desto mehr steht von diesem Bioabfall zur Verfügung. Solange wir die daraus entstehenden Produkte benutzen, speichern sie Kohlenstoff. Werden diese am Ende verbrannt, geben sie nur so viel Kohlenstoffdioxid (CO2) ab, wie die Pflanzen vorher zum Wachsen aufgenommen haben – sie sind also CO2-neutral.
Am 5. Juni startet die MS Wissenschaft in Hamburg. Von dort steuert das Schiff zunächst nach Norden bis Kiel. Von dort aus geht es in Richtung Süden durch Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz nach Bayern. Noch ein Abstecher nach Österreich, anschließend endet die Tour am 26. Oktober 2021 in Nürnberg. Insgesamt legt die MS Wissenschaft in 31 Städte an.
