Marie-Luise Wohlmuth

Marie-Luise Wohlmuth is a researcher at the Institute of Organic Farming, Department of Agrarwissenschaften, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Her work focuses on soil science, sustainable crop rotation, humus management, and organic farming systems, combining scientific research with educational outreach. She is actively involved in national and EU-funded projects, contributing to digital agriculture and biodiversity promotion.

Her research interests include:

• Organic Farming and Sustainable Agriculture
• Soil Science and Humus Balances
• Nutrient and Crop Rotation Management
• AI and Data-driven Agricultural Planning
• Environmental Education and Didactics

Wohlmuth's recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating artificial intelligence and data science into traditional agricultural practices, particularly through the development of decision support tools like Farm/IT for crop rotation planning. Her work bridges the gap between field research and practical application, with a strong emphasis on knowledge transfer to farmers, students, and the public.

She actively contributes to scientific discourse through lectures and presentations at national and international conferences, including the European Geosciences Union and the International Union of Soil Sciences. Her research is supported by agencies such as the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and the Austrian Federal Ministry.

Marie-Luise Wohlmuth is deeply committed to public engagement and education, leading initiatives such as Boden macht Schule (Soil Makes School) and citizen science projects involving schoolchildren in soil and climate research through urban gardening and vertical farming experiments. She collaborates closely with researchers such as Gabriele Gollner, Jürgen Friedel, and Christoph Foldal on interdisciplinary projects related to soil health and biodiversity.
