Agricultural and Food Policy
Prof. Peter H. Feindt and his research team focus on the transformation of agricultural and food systems towards sustainability, resilience, and fairness. To do this, we analyze the design and impact of individual policy instruments, policy mixes, and more comprehensive political and societal governance strategies. We employ qualitative, quantitative, and participatory-interactive methods. Prof. Feindt has extensive experience in research on agricultural, environmental, and technology policy, sustainability transformations, and the resilience of agricultural systems.
