Bioeconomy

The inter- and transdisciplinary approach of the study program encourages critical thinking, and graduates have the skills necessary to develop and execute diverse activities within a biobased economy. In particular, “Hohenheim bioeconomists” are able to plan, assess, and analyze the production and processing of renewable resources; coordinate the production of biobased products, adapted to specific locations; consider the interconnectedness and interdependencies of different utilization pathways for biomass; understand the key technologies used for the production of biobased products and advance their economic use; consider the societal requirements for biobased products and their production methods; organize the market launch of new biobased products; understand how (new) biobased products are embedded in value chains from micro- and macroeconomic perspectives; and coordinate the cooperation among different stakeholders in the development of biobased value chains.
