New BioSC Core Group: PD Dr. Wolfgang Britz, University of Bonn

The BioSC welcomes a new Core Group. PD Dr. Wolfgang Britz is head of the group „Economic Modeling of Agricultural Systems“ of the Institute for Food and Resource Economics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. His research focuses on the impacts of agricultural, environmental and trade policies on the agricultural and food sector, the environment and rural areas based on quantitative analysis with different types of economic simulation models.

The group of Wolfgang Britz was established in 2017 and focuses on the development and application of economic simulation models from farm to global scale to analyze quantitatively questions related to sustainability and provision of eco-systems services by agri-food systems. Thereby, the group serves as a hub for economic modeling at the agricultural faculty and collaborates in numerous projects within international research networks.

Wolfgang Britz obtained his doctorate degree in agricultural economy in 1994 at the University of Bonn. Afterwards he was a consultant at EuroCARE, EUROSTAT and FAO. He returned to the University of Bonn where he finished his habilitation in agricultural policy and quantitative modeling in 2015. In 2016, Wolfgang Britz temporarily headed the chair of Production Economics, before becoming head of the group Economic Modeling of Agricultural Systems this year.
