Presenter
Prof. Senthold Asseng
Soil and water are becoming increasingly scarce, yet more and more people need to be fed. Consequently, the agricultural sector needs to implement new strategies to meet these demands. One idea is vertical farming: plants grow in a fully controlled, layered environment indoors.
Prof. Senthold Asseng from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) explains how this works and what it can do for food security.
Relevant content, understandable language and entertaining presentations - this is how TUM@Freising brings science to the city. Meet researchers from the TUM School of Life Sciences in person and find out what they are working on. A subsequent discussion after each presentation is expressly encouraged, because science thrives on the exchange of opinions.
Admission starts at 6.30 pm and admission is free. Prior registration is not necessary.
Series of events TUM@Freising
Science - explained for everyone: Meet researchers from the TUM School of Life Sciences in person and find out what they are working on. A subsequent discussion after each lecture is expressly encouraged, because science thrives on the exchange of opinions.
The aim of the event is a lively encounter - citizens can get to know the people at "their" TUM better and learn more at the same time, while science receives valuable impulses for its research work through direct feedback from the public. The close cooperation between the city of Freising and the TUM Weihenstephan campus, which has existed for many years, is now becoming tangible in the city and region.
