IN FOCUS
The state of global food security
January 24, 2023
The main goal is clear defined: to end world hunger and undernourishment in all its forms by 2030. The challenges to reach this goal grow with the COVID-19 pandemic, consequences from climatic change as well as due to violence conflicts.

After a break due to Corona, the International Green Week is taking place again this year in Berlin as a trade fair for the general public. The Thünen Institute will participate with various activities.

Climate change is taking its toll on forests. There is no question: the forests must be made fit for the challenges of the coming years. But what will the forest of the future look like? Will there still be beech, oak, pine and spruce? Or will exotic species take over?

In his keynote address at Harvard Business School in Boston, Christian Hundt, director of the Thünen Institute of Rural Economics, presented research findings on the economic development of rural areas in Germany.
