Leibniz-Zentrum für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF) e. V.
ZALF researches the economically, ecologically and socially sustainable agriculture of the future - together with stakeholders from science, politics and practice and combines complex landscape data with a unique set of experimental methods, new technologies, computer-based models and socio-economic approaches. In doing so, ZALF investigates the use of digitization and new technologies, their impact on food security and the preservation or enhancement of diverse ecosystem services and biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. This will enable us to develop digital farming systems of the future that are less sensitive to the effects of climate change, emit fewer greenhouse gases and are optimally adapted to their location. ZALF participates in pioneering research projects such as DAKIS (https://agrarsysteme-der-zukunft.de/konsortien/dakis) and PhenoRob (https://www.phenorob.de/) and leads the ZALF landscape laboratory patchCROP (www.landschaftslabor-patchcrop.de).
