In-depth analysis of the forest accountancy data network of the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture
The forest accountancy data network of the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture is the central data source at the federal level for assessing the economic situation of forest enterprises and for answering related policy questions. This "data treasure" will be further examined in order to gain additional insights into forest management in Germany. |
In the TBN-Analysis Project the accounting results of around 350 state, municipal and private forest enterprises are collected. Forest enterprises included in the data network individually manage more than 200 hectares of forest land. Roughly 650 natural capital and business indicators are reported annually per forest enterprise on a voluntary basis.
Furthermore the TBN-Analysis Project incorporates data from the Federal Forest Inventory 2012on forest development, the wood markets and the general economic conditions. The TBN-Analysis Project analyzes in particular the evolution of the economic situation of German forest enterprises and their adaptation to changing conditions.
Forestry practice, science and policy advice
Specific issues with high relevance for forest practice, science and policy advice are identified and through an in-depth analysis of key figures of the TBN-forest accountancy data network and their comparison with other data sets analyzed and published.
Basis of the analysis are the TBN-Data from 2003 until today, with 350 state, municipal and private forest enterprises, using around 650 individual key figures. Thus, a comprehensive record of economic and natural capital data is the basis.
In the scope of the project we analyzed a wide range of themes and issues with regard to the German Forest Accountancy Data Network (TBN) of the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture. Our main findings concerning the economic situation of German forest enterprises can be summarized as follows:
