ECONOMICS OF SUSTAINABLE LAND USE & BIOECONOMY

Economics of Sustainable Land Use & Bioeconomy

Profile

Our research focusses on the assessment and evaluation of environmental policies for the governance of land-based natural resources in developing and industrialized countries. We also study agricultural technology choice and the impacts of technological innovation on the provision of terrestrial ecosystem services. The "bioeconomy" concept provides a systemic perspective for much of our work. 

Our teaching portfolio comprises basic and advanced courses in applied environmental and and resource economics with strong links to our research projects.
