Welcome to the Chair of Agricultural and Food Policy at the Institute of Agricultural Policy and Markets at the University of Hohenheim

The teaching and research activities and contributions to the public debate focus on description, understanding and design of German, European and international agricultural and food polices in a globalized world.

    The current food and energy crisis requires innovative solutions that do not lead to new trade-offs.

A new meta-analysis published in “Agronomy for Sustainable Development” authored by institute staff members and fellow Hohenheim researcher now quantify the yield responses to shading.
