GRK 1070: Modeling Material Flows and Production Systems for Sustainable Resource Use in Intensified Crop Production in the North China Plain
The project aims at developing cropping systems and management practices for the North China Plain that will ensure high intensities and will at the same time be environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. This requires clearly identifying, measuring, and modeling the related material flow effects in cropping systems. Strategies to reduce or avoid negative effects have to be developed, analyzed and assessed on field, farm and regional levels in order to derive suitable agro-environmental policy measures.
