Sustainability and Circular Economy

In the research area of sustainability and circular economy, we develop solutions for resource-efficient and climate-friendly agriculture.

Research groups:

Gaseous Emissions from Agriculture

Our key research areas are measuring and modelling ammonia and methane emissions in agriculture.

Sustainability Assessment and Advice

We develop and apply ways of assessing and optimising sustainability in agriculture and value chains.

Energy Engineering

We focus principally on developing technologies for converting inedible biomass such as waste wood, farmyard manure, slurry and maize straw into high-quality chemicals and fuels.

Permaculture

This research group is investigating whether permaculture can be implemented in Swiss agriculture and whether it is ecologically, economically and socially sustainable.

Services and forums (only in DE/FR):
