Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e.V. (ATB) Revenue and Competitors

The Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy as a nationally and internationally acting institute is researching at the interface of biological and technical systems. Our research is aimed at sustainable intensification. We analyze, model and evaluate bio-economic production systems. We develop and integrate new technologies and management strategies for a knowledge-based, site-specific production of biomass, and its use for food, as biobased materials and fuels - from basic research to application. Thus we are contributing to food security, animal welfare, the holistic use of biomass, and to protect the climate and environment. Research is organized within four programs reflecting the interdisciplinary nature and the systemic approach of our research: - Precision farming and precision livestock production - Quality and safety of food and feed - Material and energetic use of biomass - Technology assessment in agriculture
