Success stories in the agricultural sector: 233 graduates celebrate their future!

Niederösterreich, Österreich - On July 3, 2025, the time had come: The LFI Lower Austria awarded certificates to 233 graduates who successfully completed their courses. At a time when agriculture faces major challenges due to climate change, new technologies and increasing social requirements, further training is considered a crucial factor. This development underlines the relevance of practice -oriented courses offered by the LFI.

as Bauernzeitung.at reports, the course offer includes topics such as digitization, direct marketing and new branches of use such as Green Care, Vice President of the Lower Austria Agriculture Chamber, emphasized the investments that farmers make in their education. This investment is crucial to remain competitive in the rapidly changing agricultural landscape.

challenges in agriculture

The study of the effects of climate change on agriculture clearly shows that extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain and drought occur more and more. Studies such as those of bpb.de emphasize the need that farmers have to adapt to these changes. For example, researchers warn of the risks caused by rising temperatures and changed precipitation patterns. These changes affect not only on plant production, but also on floors and farm animals.

Another important aspect is adaptation to climate silicia agriculture. According to the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), which has published comprehensive adaptation strategies for German agriculture, there is also a high potential to introduce innovative approaches in Austria. Farmers can, for example, diversify their companies by growing various plant species and the use of interim fruits and thus becoming more resistant to the challenges of climate change.

Michaela SCHÜMMER, the chairman of the LFI Lower Austria, also announced that the program would be continuously developed in order to meet the current requirements of agriculture. The courses are characterized by at least 80 teaching units in which the participants can learn both professional know-how and personal skills. The target group includes active farmers and interested people from the fields of nature, nutrition and pedagogy.

A look into the future

Investment in education and constant adaptation to new conditions are more important than ever. But not only agricultural practices have to change, political support is also required. In particular, the agricultural chambers and associations are called to support farmers through targeted advice and measures in order to meet regional risks and opportunities. Access to current weather data could also help farmers react better to climate consequences.

at a time when the global food system endangers the climate goals through increasing emissions, it is crucial that both politics and farmers develop solutions together. This is the only way to guarantee sustainable and future -proof agriculture in Austria.
