Senate Commission on Agroecosystem Research

The appointment of the Senate Commission on Agroecosystem Research in 2012 focused attention on two topical subjects,

  1. 鈥淚ncreasing productivity per unit area while protecting natural resources and preserving ecosystem services鈥 and
  2. 鈥淩esearch infrastructures: analysis and further development of basic institutional conditions that enhance the international visibility of agroecosystem research in Germany鈥,

    as the basis for its six-year mandate (2012 to 2017) to address the future challenges associated with safeguarding the sustainable and resource-efficient production of biomass.

    The Senate Commission also intends to promote relevant issues in nationally and internationally coordinated programmes.
  3. Cross-disciplinary topic
    鈥淐ooperation with other bodies 鈥 internationally coordinated programmes鈥

By focusing on these topics, the Senate Commission aims to be able to propose measures and initiatives to position and further develop basic agricultural research in Germany. The commission also aims to develop approaches for the cross-disciplinary consolidation and coordination of scientific expertise, for the improvement of the research infrastructure and for the establishment of beneficial general conditions in agroecosystem research.

3 July 2014
Roundtable discussion on metadata analysis "Productivity development of crops" at Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University, Hannover.

The goal of the roundtable discussion was to identify issues and existing data which could form the basis for joint research projects, for example in the form of a shared proposal or (in the mid-term) a priority area. At the roundtable discussion, the subject of "Productivity development of winter wheat, maize and rape crops with reference to climate change" was identified as a suitable theme given its strong relevance to society and the existence of metadata.

19 December 2012
Meeting of the Working Group "Sustainable intensification of plant production systems" in G枚ttingen

Draft of a policy paper " Sustainable and resource-efficient intensification of crop production: perspectives of agroecosystem research". The following core research areas and the desirable outcomes were identified:

  • networking of molecular biological plant research with plant breeding and plant cultivation
  • analysis of cultivation systems within a landscape context.

Starting from the scientific basics and actual issues, conceptual ideas and options for utilisation will be highlighted as well as opportunities and tools for systematic decision-making processes and channels (such as where do we need innovative methods for new achievements, how do we overcome the variability of scales in the field of processes and in formulating hypotheses: how can complex systems be brought together?).

21 September 2012
Joint Roundtable Discussion with the Working Groups "Sustainable intensification of plant production systems" and "Research Infrastructures".

The Roundtable Discussion illustrated in particular the necessity to consolidate the exchange of knowledge and to establish a common level of language between plant breeding/plant genetics, plant cultivation, biodiversity/ecology and socio economics, also beyond scale boundaries.

July 鈥 August 2012

Note

The commission was set up on 1 January 2012 as a successor to the Senate Commission on Substances and Resources in Agriculture (SKLW).
