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.
On Sunday 7th of July, the sun shone brightly on the Hofgarten meadow in Bonn as part of the Science Festival.
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".
