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.
