In the afternoon, co-workers, sponsors and partners with the ZALF executive board and guests viewed a revue of 25 years of agricultural landscape research during the festive opening ceremony in the ZALF greenhouse and looked together into the future of the research site.

At 10 a.m. Professor Dr. Frank Ewert, ZALF Scientific Director, and Carsten Feller, Department Head of Science and Research at the Ministry for Science, Research and Culture of Brandenburg, opened the gala for the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Müncheberg Research centres. The day began with a scientific symposium on the topic “Agricultural landscape research in the context of the Sustainability Goals” in addition to a poster session.
