Regulation of agricultural value chains
- How do relevant decision makers behave (esp. farmers) & how can we know about it?
- What should the government do to induce “sustainable” behaviour? (e.g. w.r.t. nitrate & GHG emissions)
Sustainable agricultural development in developing & emerging economies
- Agricultural policy reforms, institutional change in water & rangeland resources, focus on Central Asia & Southern Africa
- International PhD Program in Agricultural Economics, Bioeconomy & Sustainable Food Systems (IPPAE)
|
- Complexity of food systems not sufficiently addressed by researchers, truly interdisciplinary work is cumbersome
- Democratic decision making systems not fit enough to address sustainability challenges in time
|
- Policy & regulation for innovative agricultural value chains (e.g. agroforestry, bioeconomy)
- International food security studies (e.g. on organisational change & technological innovations in production)
- Interdisciplinary work on future of livestock husbandry in developing & emerging economies
