Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences
Thanks to the unique combination of agricultural, nutritional and food sciences with geodesy, the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences (AEI) has ideal opportunities to develop the scientific basis for a sustainable supply of energy and food to meet demand and to support its implementation in practice.
For the AEI, top scientific qualifications and professional skills are equally important educational goals. Graduates must not only acquire theoretical and practical specialist knowledge, but also methodological and social skills and the ability to think critically and interdisciplinarily. We meet the requirements of the job market with research-oriented Bachelor's and Master's degrees. [ read more ]

Agri-Environmental Policies Improve Cropland Around the World
Erosion, salinization and shrinking numbers of organisms such as worms and beneficial fungi can have a devastating effect on soil fertility, and so many parts of the world have passed laws to curb these processes. A study by the University of Bonn has now shown that these measures have improved soil quality in many countries. Their impact, however, is heavily dependent on the political and institutional environment in which they are implemented. The researchers’ findings have been published in the journal “Nature Food.”
Interactive Drones for the Agriculture Industry
Stefano Mintchev, a specialist in robotics, is to join the University of Bonn from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich on September 1, 2026. He is studying robots that can move independently in complex natural environments.
Sarah Egert receives the University’s Teaching Award
Anyone who inspires and guides students and empowers them to never stop learning will shape the University well beyond the four walls of their lecture hall. With this year’s teaching prizes, the University of Bonn is recognizing 14 teachers who have supported their students with their unique ideas, commitment and specialist expertise. The awards are decided on by the students themselves based on their own evaluations of the teaching delivered and nominations from the faculties and the Bonn Center for Teacher Education.
Where Research Meets Neighborliness
What exactly is going on behind the doors of the new Grünes Haus (“Green House”) on Carl-Troll-Straße? What plants and soils are being investigated there? And how sustainable is the new building really? Locals were given answers to these and many other questions by members of the Faculty of Agricultural, Nutritional and Engineering Sciences at the University of Bonn on a visit organized to mark the completion of its new Sample and Vegetation Center.
Gentle nudges for increased animal welfare
Gentle purchase incentives can lead customers to choose groceries with higher animal husbandry standards more often. A recent study at the University of Bonn at least suggests this. The researchers used two different animal welfare label posters as “nudges.” Each poster itself changed the consumer behavior of participants shopping in a virtual supermarket. The share of products with higher animal welfare standards in the shopping cart was highest when both posters were combined. Further studies have yet to clarify the extent to which the results can be transferred to real shopping situations. The study has been published in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics.
Young People Explore the Agriculture of the Future through Hands-On Research
How can we feed a growing global population? And what role are new technologies playing in making food systems sustainable? The PhenoRob Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn welcomed a class of schoolchildren to Klein-Altendorf Campus to show them some innovative approaches being taken in the world of agriculture. The young people spent a morning gaining an insight into current research projects and learning how robots, drones and digital technologies are transforming the agricultural sector.
