Man of the soil Klaus Laitenberger on Nuffield scholarship and the food economy

Respected organic grower and lecturer at UCC’s organic horticulture programme, Klaus Laitenberger on his year-long experience as a Nuffield scholar and student of world agriculture and the food economy.

I feel so privileged and lucky to have been selected as one of five Irish Nuffield scholars to explore agricultural innovations, observe trends in global agriculture, and, most importantly, to explore what the future of agriculture will be. Some people don’t realise this to the full, but the future of agriculture will also determine the future of humanity.
