Hauptinhalt der Seite

​​​​​​The Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), an institution of the Leibniz Association.

Mission of ZALF is to deliver solutions for an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable agriculture – together with society.

As a contribution to overcoming global challenges such as climate change, food security, biodiversity conservation and resource scarcity, we develop and design crop systems, integrated in their landscape contexts, that combine food security with sustainability. Therefore we process complex landscape data with a unique set of experimental methods, new technologies and models as well as socio-economic approaches.

ZALF research is integrated systems research: starting from processes in soils and plants to causal relationships on the field and landscape level up to global impacts and complex interactions between landscapes, society and economy.

According to its statutes, ZALF serves “the public welfare by communicating scientific insights to the relevant sections of the population, technical communities and business circles”. ZALF research stands explicitly for scientific excellence and social relevance.

Environmental Management

MyLinkAnsehenUrl: - 0

Environmental protection has a high priority at ZALF. To perpetuate this approach, an environmental management system was introduced at the Müncheberg site in 2019, for which we maintained an EMAS certificate from November 2020 to November 2023. The successes can be read in the environmental statements of the last 3 years. However, we have also determined that the ecological focus of EMAS does not go far enough for ZALF as a research institution with a sustainable approach. The Executive Board has agreed to further devel-op the existing, well-functioning system in the direction of a holistic sustainability management system. For this purpose, we will be guided by the methods of www.nachhaltig-forschen.de. Details can be found here.
