ZALF scientists among the top 10 in the field of food security research

ZALF scientists Stefan Sieber and Frieder Graef are among the top 10 authors in the field of food security research, according to a review in the journal Land, and thus among the most influential scientists in the field.

This was the conclusion of a study published this year by Xie et al. entitled "Global Trends on Food Security Research: A Bibliometric Analysis." The ranking was based on the h-index, number of publications, total citations, and the year of first publication. Stefan Sieber has the largest number of publications in comparison, with 14 articles covering a wide range of topics related to food security, especially the performance of farmers in Tanzania.
