We strive to improve the efficiency, economics and environmental sustainability of agricultural practices. This includes:
- Agricultural economics: We analyze market trends, price trends and operational metrics to enable farmers to make informed decisions to increase their profitability.
- Environmental accounting: We carry out comprehensive environmental accounting to assess the impact of agricultural activities on the environment and identify ways to reduce negative impacts.
- Model development and data analysis: By developing models and analyzing large data sets, we look for practical solutions for agriculture and make forecasts for future developments.
- Sustainable business management: We support farmers in running their businesses sustainably by incorporating economic, social and ecological aspects into their decisions.
Our research projects cover a wide spectrum, from analyzing the agricultural economic situation to assessing the environmental impacts of digital technologies. We work closely with agricultural businesses, experts and society to develop practical solutions.
