Silke Hüttel joined the University of Göttingen 2022 on the professorship “Agricultural and Food Business Management”, one of the core professorships in the field of agribusiness management. Her fields of interest lie in identifying locally specific sustainable farming and land systems, how to bring agricultural firms towards such more sustainable systems—including high animal welfare livestock systems, new types of farming with smart technologies such as data-driven decision support or autonomous decisions—and how to create and sustain additional value from interaction with other stakeholders.
Our group’s core interest is on managerial decisions in the field of agribusiness, such as identifying improvement potentials in the ecological and economic production dimension, regarding the business and technology adoption processes, and on valuations of core production factors such as land.
