know us.
With an interdisciplinary team from various fields, we promote effective exchange and enable the best possible, practice-oriented work and results.

Prof. Dr. Arndt Feuerbacher
Head of the Ecological-Economic Policy Modelling unit at the University of Hohenheim. He leads the junior research group BEATLE. His main research areas are ecological-economic modelling in the context of the sustainable transformation of food systems, as well as the modelling of smallholder farming systems in the Global South.

Jonathan Gerlach

Prof. Dr. Anne Mupepele
She heads the Chair of Animal Ecology at the University of Marburg and works on evidence-based practice in ecology and ground-nesting wild bees. In the BEATLE project, she is a partner in the consortium and co-leads the junior research group, with primary responsibility for the ecological component.

Viviana Alarcón‑Segura
Quantification of the impacts of land-use changes on biodiversity and ecosystem services, with a focus on the contribution of semi-natural habitats to biodiversity and productivity in agricultural landscapes.

Hannah Bücheler
Develops agricultural and food policy transformation scenarios together with stakeholders at local and national levels and analyses state and non-state instruments for more biodiversity-friendly land use.

Saskia Osterkamp
Simulates the agricultural and food policy transformation scenarios in the eco-economic model and evaluates the results together with the involved stakeholders in order to develop policy recommendations for transformation pathways towards biodiversity-friendly land use.

Falk Krumbe
Integrates ecological interrelationships into an economy-wide model and thereby develops an eco-economic simulation model for analysing biodiversity-friendly agricultural and food policy transformation scenarios.

Dr. Tim Williams
Strengthens the BEATLE team as a postdoctoral researcher. His research focuses on the use of simulation models to assess the ecological and economic impacts of transitioning towards more organic farming.
