BAB 082/25: Loss of active substances in pesticides
The work in this research project is part of the DAFNE project ‘Evaluation of the medium-term availability of plant protection product active substances’, in which BAB is responsible for work package 4a, described in more detail below. For more comprehensive details on the entire project, see DAFNE. The portfolio of plant protection product (PPP) active substances available in the European Union is currently undergoing massive change. While the number of approved active substances has...
BAB 078/25: Climate change adaptation in Austrian arable farming
The agricultural sector plays a central role in the ongoing climate change. While agriculture continues to contribute significantly to the generation of greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants, it is also strongly affected by the impacts of climate change. In addition to reducing the carbon footprint, increasing adaptation measures to climate change in European food production is a dedicated goal of the Green Deal with its Farm-to-Fork Strategy (European Commission, 2020). Austrian...
BAB 081/25: The impact of Natura 2000 on farm productivity and efficiency in Austria
Prof Dr Sebastian Lakner is Head of the Chair of Agricultural Economics at the University of Rostock. Prof Lakner has many years of research experience at the interface between agricultural and environmental policy and is the author of numerous publications in this field, including together with the project leader (Koemle, Lakner, and Yu 2019; Lakner, Zinngrebe, and Koemle 2020). He works both empirically/econometrically and directly with farmers to better understand trade-offs between...
BAB 077/25: Geoid calculation
Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) such as GPS, Galileo and GLONASS enable positioning and navigation tasks to be carried out with unprecedented efficiency. Thanks to their speed, real-time capability, wide-area availability and comparatively low costs, GNSS are superior to conventional surveying methods in many areas. With the Austri-an Positioning Service (APOS), the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying (BEV) operates a GNSS-based service that enables real-time positioning...
BAB 080/25: The impact of agricultural and food policy on allocative efficiency with DEA and machine learning
The evaluation of policy measures requires the continuous development and improvement of methods and the development of methodological expertise. In particular, the methods of machine learning, a subgroup of artificial intelligence, have been increasingly used in recent years. In the European Union, where the European Green Deal (EGD) aims to reconcile economic processes with planetary boundaries (Pe'er et al. 2020), policy measures within the Common Agricultural and Fisheries Policy (CAP,...
BAB 076/25: Development of alpine pasture farming with a special focus on land abandonment
Alpine pasture farming plays a central role in the preservation of the traditional Austrian cultural landscape and, when used sustainably, provides important ecosystem services such as nature conservation, tourism and disaster protection. Despite these functions, alpine pastures are often neglected in discussions on agriculture, land use and land abandonment. While the abandonment of arable land is increasingly considered, the topic of alpine pastures often remains underrepresented, even...
BAB 079/25: Agricultural data portal - Central research portal for the publication of web maps, web services and open data of the department
The extensive data pool of the BML / BAB forms an important basis for scientific studies and projects. The growing availability of geodata as well as the extended competences and technical possibilities lead to a growing number of spatial intersections and analyses. The resulting analysis results and geodata are processed and visualised in different ways. To date, however, publication has mainly taken place in the form of static images as part of publications on websites or in print products...
BAB 074/24: D-DOK: Research documentation departments
Currently, the data for research activities and public relations activities are collected in simple lists at the research departments and the RZL and activity reports are compiled manually. There are currently no standardized publication lists or archives. Objective Development of a web-based research documentation system for departments. This application is used by the respective users to collect all relevant data that is are required for the creation of the RZLP, especially for the...
BAB 073/24: Data modelling, management and consulting for the GAP Datapool
The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) plays a central role in shaping agricultural policies that affect agriculture, the environment and rural communities. The evaluation of these policies is crucial to understand their effectiveness, sustainability and potential adjustments. The evaluation of CAP 23-27 poses new challenges for the evaluators involved. Increased expectations of the evaluation as well as larger amounts of data require targeted solutions and tools to...
BAB 072/24: Preparation, data management and evaluation of selected evaluation
topics of the Austrian CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 and the Rural Development Program 2014-2020 The evaluation of the implementation and impact of measures taken under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is particularly important. The evaluation framework for this is set out in EU regulations. The evaluation involves, for example, reviewing the intervention logic of national agricultural policy programmes and plans, assessing the impact of CAP measures and developing recommendations for the...
BAB 071/24: DBZ – webbased dashboard for operational analysis
A constantly growing amount of data with an increased need for availability and user-friendliness also poses growing challenges for the BAB. Numerous interfaces to the population (e.g. funding processing) and the various independent institutions assigned to the BML create a very heterogeneous and widely ramified database infrastructure. Objective In order to be able to leave these data as independent services in the respective sovereignty and to be able to visualize them collectively, this...
BAB 075/24: Grassland conservation across European landscapes protecting biodiversity and ecosystem services with ecological networks (GreeNet)
Grassland is a production factor for ruminant husbandry, but also a habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species and is valued for its aesthetic and cultural value. Nevertheless, ecologically important grassland areas are under threat in many parts of Europe. Nature conservation organisations and agricultural policy stakeholders are calling for conservation measures to halt or reverse this deterioration. Recent research results show that effective biodiversity conservation must take...
