Since April, David Wuepper leads the group Land Economics in the Agricultural Economics department of the University of Bonn. Before coming to Bonn, he completed a Master at Christian Albrechts University of Kiel and a PhD at Technical University Munich, was a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, and then professor of Quantitative Agricultural Economics at Humboldt University Berlin. His group Land Economics is part of the DFG Cluster of Excellence PhenoRob and for the coming 5 years it is funded by the ERC Starting Grant LAND-POLCY.

The main focus of the group is on land degradation and restoration. The research will focus on the one hand on global evaluations of institutional and policy changes (e.g. agri-environmental payments, changes in regulations). On the other hand, it will also analyze the potential of technological solutions. In this context, also research in behavioral economics will play a role.

Dominic Lemken leads the working group "Socioeconomics of Sustainable Nutrition" at the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Bonn since December 2022. After completing his master's degree in Bonn and Wageningen, he moved to the University of Göttingen, where he received his doctorate in 2017 at the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development in the field of marketing for food and agricultural products.

His research group mainly works on consumer behavior related to sustainable nutrition, in particular on the interaction of food environments and decision making. The goal is to improve the understanding of food choices to promote environmentally-friendlier, healthier and socially just nutrition. This explicitly includes behavioral economic research on nutrition and a nutrition policy perspective.

Daniel Hermann took over the professorship "Management of the digital Circular Economy" at the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Bonn on October 1, 2022. After completing his master's degree at the University of Hohenheim, he moved to the University of Göttingen to do his doctorate, where he received his PhD in 2016 from the agricultural faculty in the field of farm management. He then received his second PhD in 2018 from the Faculty of Economics at the University of Göttingen in the field of experimental economics.

His research focuses on individual decision behavior along the agricultural value chain, economic preferences and the consequences of digital transformation in agribusiness. In addition, sustainability of production systems and the effect of changing climatic conditions are research interests. A special focus is on interdisciplinary cooperation at the interface of economics and agricultural economics.

Prof. Dr. Alexandra Brutzer has taken over the professorship of Didactics of Agriculture and Nutrition as of September 1, 2022. There she is responsible for the teacher training "Lehramt an Berufskollegs" with the vocational specializations "Agricultural Science" as well as "Nutrition and Home Economics".

Her research focuses, among other things, on the design of teaching/learning arrangements in the above-mentioned vocational specializations, the occupational segment of personal/household services, dealing with heterogeneity, professionalization for inclusive teaching-learning settings, and the significance/consequences of digital transformation in the professions of agronomy and nutrition/home economics. Another area of interest relates to the study entry phase in vocational teacher education programs, which is to be seen as an important factor in the context of study success.

Previously, Prof. Dr. Brutzer held the professorship of vocational and business education at the University of Kassel for three and a half years and worked for more than ten years as a research assistant/ teacher for special tasks at the professorship of vocational education at the University of Giessen.
