PERSONAL STATEMENT

One and probably the most important thing that I have learned here is that no matter where we come from, we have shared goals, interests and a future that we all wish and desire to be better than what we have seen or heard of in the past. Granted we may look at getting there in different ways than one. We have come and learned more from one another than any other lecturer has thought us and thus I am grateful for meeting all of you!!! I also wish that when we live this esteemed institute of education, we must all strive and make ours and everybody else’s future better than the one that we have before us!! Here is a phrase from T.S. Eliot that I think would stick accord with all of us, We shall not cease from exploration. And the end �� \��3��^��\��been truly an honor and pleasure to have had you as a friend and wish you all the happiness and prosperity that life can give you. Impressions of Germany

Well what to say what to say…First and foremost, the fact that everything works and I mean everything is something that sur-�� 1�� 3��[��/��3��3��-�� $��that the reason was the hard work and diligence that is the profoundly ‘German’!! In addition, the education which motivates and stimulates your senses towards discovery as well as seasoned educators(professors, doctors…) not to mention well staf-fed institute are the basic reason i believe most of us came here to learn. The social life, interaction with the many faces from many places and sharing food and ideas together is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I have found Germans to be warm, kind and helpful whenever help was needed. Katrin winkler and Kerstin hoffbaur where two of the most helpful, caring and kind people one would ever hope for when going from one part world of to another. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. All of the friends that I have met here and had the pleasure of learning from, I thank you for letting me in your lives and be part of them. Peace and love to all of you

Organic Food Chain Management

Consumers are increasingly interested in the quality of their food and the manner in which it is produced. For this reason, more and more food is produced, and processed according to the standards of organic farming.These standards ensure high product quality, the sound use of natural and human resources, the maintenance of biodiversity and the implementation of sus-tainable production systems without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic farming is based on a holistic approach. The processing and marketing of organically grown food requires special skills and knowledge. As the market for organic products is a growing sector on a world wide scale, there is need for experts to provide knowledge on organic food chain management which would include primary food production, food technology and quality control. To meet these demands, the University of Hohenheim has developed the M.Sc. Programme “Organic Food Chain Management”. This programme will prepare people ��""��"�� ""��Y�� '��'��'��\��university in Europe offering a Master Programme with an emphasis on food chain management in the organic sector. Orga-nic farming is a growing market. Therefore, persons with a profound knowledge of organic food production, processing and quality control are required. Graduates will be employed in food processing companies, trade, quality management, extension services, NGOs or other associations and in research and teaching institutions. Moreover, an increasing international trade in �� ""�� Y��"��"� �� and standards.

Résumé of the program �� "��"��nutrition, poverty, marketing and the society as a whole but some issues need to be treated in greater detail. More practical issues will make the program much better.

Impressions of Germany Germany is a place for studying where in every second counts as a learning process.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

I am glad of having joined this master program, I couldn’t imagine it was that interdisciplinary, multicultural in terms of partici-pants. I really like that; I learned how not to be narrow in one discipline, and it is very complementary to my previous curricu-lum.

Résumé of the program The interdisciplinary feature of this master program confers a broad variety of subjects enabling the student to develop a team spirit from all the group works we had, and a polyvalent working spirit from the different approaches used in each module ��"��"�� "��


Germany is very welcoming country, where people have a strong sense of hospitality, but as in many other European coun-tries, I hate when it gets dark at 4 p.m. ;)
