The high livestock densities in Germany's livestock-intensive regions are accompanied by heavy burdens for humans, animals and nature. Efforts are therefore being made to regulate animal density in the intensive regions. However, this intervenes in mature and established economic production systems with often competitive structures. Against this background, the project poses the question of what regional economic effects a reduction of livestock numbers in the intensive regions would bring. The project takes into account the dynamic and evolutionary character of economic development and the resulting potentially high significance of regional context factors. From this perspective, the further development of livestock intensive regions depends mainly on the resources available in the region and on the skills and willingness of stakeholders to innovate and change policies. The project consists of a quantitative and a qualitative part, each dealing firstly with the sectoral and secondly with the cross-sectoral effects of a possible reduction in livestock farming.
