Enhancing the genetic diversity and variability of crops and livestock for the agroecological transition
We are interested in collaborating on projects that investigate and promote genetic diversity and variability in crops and livestock as a basis for resilient agroecological systems. We can contribute expertise in sustainability assessment, life cycle assessment, circular bioeconomy and resource-efficiency evaluation — offering environmental footprint analyses, scenario-based trade-off assessment, and circular-economy strategies for diversified farms.
Aarhus University is a leading research institution in Denmark, with strong expertise in sustainable agriculture, agroecology, circular bioeconomy, and life cycle assessment. Our Department of Agroecology works on environmental performance, resource efficiency, biodiversity and sustainable food systems. We offer scientific capacity to integrate genetic-diversity strategies with environmental and socio-economic sustainability assessment, helping to design and evaluate agroecological farming systems that are robust, resource-efficient, and biodiversity-friendly.
