Eberswalde says goodbye to two professors: teaching for climate change!

In the first week of July, two special last lectures took place in Eberswalde, in which the two long-term professors, Prof. Dr. Roland Hoffmann-Bahnen and Prof. Dr. Martin Guericke , after around two decades at the University of Sustainable Development Eberswalde (HNEE) announced her well -deserved retirement. Hoffmann-Bahnsen opened the series of his last lectures on July 1 with an informative topic: "Possible arable and crop construction screws for adapting to climate change".

In his lecture, he addressed the challenges of water lack, which are reinforced by rising temperatures and drier spring and summer. His focus was on suitable plants and measures that help farmers to better adapt to the changed climatic conditions. Hoffmann-Bahnsensen Academic Journey began at the Humboldt University in Berlin, where he completed his doctorate on water deficiency sensitivity in tropical and subtropical grain legumes. He dedicated his habilitation to the use of forgotten genetic resources, especially the panel deer in ecological agriculture.

coping with extreme weather conditions

climate change is one of the greatest challenges that the world and especially agriculture are facing. According to bpb , agriculture is massively affected by changed precipitation patterns and extreme weather events. An example of this is the view of European agriculture and its reactions to the weather extreme in 2018, which were documented in publications by Royal Society B. The “common agricultural policy” (GAP) is also viewed critically with regard to their effects on the climate goals.

An integral part of the solutions lies in the development and implementation of adaptation strategies, which include ** water management **, ** plant -Iversification ** and ** soil management **. These strategies are crucial to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems and to secure food supply in uncertain times. Hoffmann-Bahnensens research has made a major contribution to these topics and underlines the need for new approaches in agriculture.

insights and views of teaching

guericke, who gave his lecture on July 2, gave a humorous look at his teaching activity and reflected on the changes he experienced during his career at the hnee. His focus was on forestry and the need to take the students with them in these dynamic times and prepare them for the challenges of climate change. By building a network into forest practice, Guericke was able to offer his students practical topics for theses and career opportunities.

Both professorships represent a thinking and acting that is urgently required in the context of global changes. In addition to their commitment to teaching and research, Hoffmann-Bahnsen and Guericke also devoted themselves to forest pedagogy and were actively in the management of the examination board. In the future, Hoffmann-Bahnen is planning to dedicate himself to the tractor, while Guericke wants to explore the culinary delights of France and devote itself to the "Savoir Vivre".

Together by their visions and the endeavors to prepare the coming generations for the climatic challenges, the two professors close a chapter that is not only professionally but also emotionally deeply rooted.

Another aspect that numerous studies such as that of Wissen.de , is the urgent need, political framework and financial support for the adaptation to the To create climate change. The integrated approach in agricultural policy leaves space for innovation, promotes sustainable cultivation methods and strengthens the resilience of agriculture.
