Talk: Circular bio-economy in a changing environment

In this presentation, Prof. Dr Johan Six, Co-PI of the Agropolitan Territories of Monsoon Asia module at FCL Global, will give us an overview of circular bio-economy and why it is relevant in the context of today’s society particularly in the Global South. Johan will also share his experience in Africa where he works directly with local communities and scholars. We will also hear from him regarding how scientists and designers can work (better) together and his experience as Co-PIs with FCL Global.
 

About the speaker:
Prof. Dr Six’s research focuses on the feedbacks between agroecosystem management options, biogeochemical cycling, food system functioning and global change. More specifically, his group studies how management affects the complex interactions between soil, plants, and carbon and nutrient fluxes within agroecosystems and its implications for food system functioning within a continuously changing global environment. His group conducts experimental work from the microscale to the landscape scale and subsequently integrates its findings into simulation modeling to underpin the mechanistic bases of the used models, and predict agroecosystem and food system functioning across space and time.
