Applied Systems Science for Sustainability
The Applied Systems Science for Sustainability research group employs systems thinking, systems analysis and system dynamics modeling to investigate the major environmental and techno-socio-economic challenges the world is facing. The group analyzes, interprets, models and communicates complex dynamic problems using the methods and tools provided by applied systems science.
Through extensive international collaboration, the group has initiated and participated in a wide range of interdisciplinary projects to address key global challenges. Examples of such challenges include widespread resource use and scarcity, climate change, food security and the like. The research group is working on solutions to such issues by focusing on circular bioeconomy, food system transformations, protein diversification, sustainable agriculture, ecosystem services and food system science.
