Marine Biodiversity – assess and protect species richness
May 22, 2023
Changes in marine environments have direct effects on marine species communities and food webs. Securing and restoring biological diversity in the sea is of central importance for the sustainable use of marine resources.
Six major reforms in the last 30 years and the next one is already being prepared: The reform of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), established in 1962, was described as a "never-ending story". Researchers at the Thünen Institute have been involved in these discussions for a long time.
Using agricultural land for energy production is often criticised because it takes up valuable arable land. In our fact check, we examine which form of energy supplies the greatest amount of electricity and heat for households and transport, and how much land is needed for it (in German).
Every year the Thünen Institute compiles an overview of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and the LULUCF sector as well as ammonia emissions from agriculture. The current data for 1990-2021 and the previous year estimate for 2022 are now available.
