The sustainable production of energy and renewable resources through resource-efficient processes and the development of a closed-cycle economy is an important aspect of adapting to climate change. Already today, the concept of a sustainable bioeconomy offers many solutions for improving climate protection.

Its storage capability is what makes bioenergy such an important part of the future energy mix. It is an indispensable component that can compete with energy sources such as wind and solar energy that are not always available. The sustainable bioeconomy offers solutions for developing integrated production processes for sustainable production.

On 23 September 2026, we were pleased to welcome Lene Lange for the 37th BioSC Lecture at Forschungszentrum Jülich. She provided an insightful overview of how the resilience of crops and entire agricultural ecosystems can be improved in the face of rapid environmental changes. Her work spanned a wide range of topics, in particular plant breeding, plant protection, soil improvement, and functional analyses of entire microbiomes, such as those found in soil.
