AgScience-on-Tap | Social factors in agriculture

Exciting lectures (in English) and lively discussions in a relaxed atmosphere with a cool drink on Wednesday evenings: that's “AgScience-on-Tap”. In this series of events in the “Jagdzimmer” of the Furtnerbräu Freising, you will meet speakers from various fields of agricultural, nutritional and environmental sciences with changing topics. The interdisciplinary organization team from TUM and HSWT is looking forward to a large audience for exchange and networking on current research results presented and presented in an understandable way.

Agriculture is never just a matter of engineering technology, crop cultivation, or animal farming – it is always embedded in social contexts. Consumption habits, public perceptions, political debates, and ethical values shape how agricultural research is conducted and which innovations gain traction. Under the semester theme “Social Factors in Agriculture”, the AgScience-on-Tap series in Winter Semester 2025/26 explores these interactions: How do social factors influence agricultural practices and research, and how can science engage with society to address key questions for the future?

What do the social sciences of agriculture and food look like? Based on this field, what can be learned about the intersection of agricultural science and society? In this presentation, Mascha Gugganig will give an overview of critical social science research on the role of science and technology in agrifood, and give an outlook of potential collaborations with STEM fields.
