Visions

for Agricultural Systems of the Future

The sustainable design of agricultural production is one of the central human tasks of the 21st century. In order to pave new paths in agricultural management, eight interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research consortia funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) are researching and testing innovative approaches for the agricultural systems of the future.

How can conflicts over land use be dealt with constructively, and what new approaches are there for forward-looking, cooperative land management? At the Future Forum on Rural Development organised by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the team from ‘Agricultural Systems of the Future’ had the opportunity to help shape Expert Forum 28 ‘Land in Transition’ – together with the Öko-Institut, the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), the Leibniz Institute for Vegetable and Ornamental Crops (IGZ), neuland21 and the Wüstenrot Foundation.
