We strive to improve the efficiency, economic viability, and environmental sustainability of agricultural practices. This includes:
- Agricultural economics: We analyze market trends, price developments and operational key figures to enable farmers to make informed decisions to increase their profitability.
- Environmental assessment: We conduct comprehensive environmental assessments to evaluate the impact of agricultural activities on the environment and to identify ways to reduce negative impacts.
- Model development and data analysis: By developing models and analyzing large datasets, we seek practical solutions for agriculture and make predictions for future developments.
- Sustainable farm management: We support farmers in managing their farms sustainably by incorporating economic, social and environmental aspects into their decisions.
Our research projects cover a broad spectrum, from analyzing the agricultural economic situation to assessing the environmental impacts of digital technologies. We work closely with farms, experts, and society to develop practical solutions.
