Research interests

I am a researcher with a multidisciplinary background in Land System Science, GIS, Spatial Economics and Sustainability Science. I have specialized in developing spatial analysis methods and land-use modelling tools for decision- and policy-making support, dealing with the territorial dimension of sustainability challenges in agricultural systems. I am currently part of the team contributing to the SNF project SIPATH – Operationalising Sustainable Intensification Pathways in Europe.

Was ist nachhaltige Intensivierung?

Die nachhaltige Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft (Sustainable Intensification of Agriculture, SI) wird sowohl von Wissenschaftlern als auch von politischen Entscheidungsträgern als Lösung für das Dilemma zwischen landwirtschaftlicher Produktionssteigerung und Reduktion der Umweltbelastung gesehen.
