Current projects

Since September 2025, I have been working as coordinator for the project agri:change / agri:lab X4. In this role, I coordinate consortium-wide integration and synthesis activities and support the co-design processes within agri:lab X4.

In agri:lab X4, the challenges of sustainable land use in a study region in Lower Saxony are analysed and addressed. Through local co-design processes, regional stakeholders and researchers collaboratively develop innovative land-use approaches. These approaches are embedded within a broader transdisciplinary learning and negotiation process and integrated into a landscape transformation strategy.

The aim of agri:lab X4 is to strengthen transformation capacities within the study region and to identify viable, equitable, socially accepted and transferable pathways towards sustainable land use.
