BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 24/09/2026By bringing together modelling, scientific evidence, and perspectives from farmers and other stakeholders, we aim to explore practical pathways towards biodiversity-positive, climate-resilient and just futures. 100
BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 24/09/2026In Germany, our case study will investigate coordinated approaches to biodiversity conservation at the landscape scale, focusing on how measures across farms can strengthen ecological connectivity in intensively farmed landscapes. 100
BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Building on our work in BEATLE, our team at the University of Hohenheim is looking forward to taking our research on biodiversity-friendly agriculture further through the new Horizon Europe project SPARK4B+! 110
BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Bartosz presented his work on modelling farmers’ decision-making within multifunctional agricultural landscapes, showcasing the development of the FAMUS (Farm decisions for Multifunctionality at landscape Scale) agent-based model. 010
BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 08/12/2025Thanks to Bartosz for presenting his work on landscape-scale agent based modeling of farm decisions in our AEEP-Seminar! 274
BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Valentin presented his work with LCIA models, and the idea of moving beyond global-average impact factors by using regionalized data. In this approach, country-specific characterization factors are combined with actual trade flows, creating a more realistic picture of the impact of food consumption. 000
BEATLE @beatleresearch.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Benjamin presented nitrogen as "too much of a good thing," balancing agricultural benefits vs. environmental costs. The outlined path forward: improving efficiency, shifting diets, and electrifying industry, was comprehensive and actionable, with the Nitrogen Surplus Tax as a practical policy tool. 100
