Overview:

The 3-year ERA-NET project SUSTAINBEEF, jointly funded by the EU and the BMEL, links researcher focusing on beef production system with stakeholders to develop and assess innovative ways to improve the sustainability of beef production system. The contribution of the Economoc Modeling group in Bonn consists of detailed, quantiative bio-eonomic analysis of beef production systems in Germany based on the application of the FARMDYN model and support to partners in applying the model to study regions in their own country.

Further information on the project can be found on the project webpage SustainBeef maintained by our coordinating institution
