ATB department 2 Technology-Assessment and Substance Cycles
Institution
Section overview
Description
Agriculture operates at the seam between biology and engeneering. The impacts of management are mainly evident in the medium to long term and are consequently of far-reaching importance. The Technology Assessment and Substance Cycles Department with its assessment projects backing up developments provides impulses for the concept and design of competitive farming methods which conserve natural resources. Assessment concentrate above all on the impacts of using technology on humankind, the environment and the economy. An important aspect is therefor the development of suitable methods and indicators for specific assessment questions.
A motivated team of cooperates closely with qualified specialists to solve these demanding tasks. By joining pure science with economic and social science expertise, development strategies for rural areas and investment decisions can be assessd more comprehensively and thus be better validated.
