Institute for Food and Resource Economics
The Institute for Food and Resource Economics (ILR) is part of the University of Excellence Bonn. It is composed of eleven research groups dedicated to applied economic research on sustainable food and biomass systems. ILR was established on April 1, 2006, when the Institute of Agricultural Economics merged with the Institute of Agricultural Policy, Market Research, and Economic Sociology.
Last Friday, April 19th, students of the AFECO program had the opportunity to explore the inner workings of Bonn's waste management plant as part of their course on "Extended Methods of Empirical Research - Qualitative Methods".
Dr. Martin Paul Tabe-Ojong - a former PhD student of the Department of Economics and Agricultural Policy wins the Japan International Award for Young Agricultural Researchers 2023.
