Johann Bachinger

Johann Bachinger is a Researcher at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Müncheberg, Germany, affiliated with the Working Group Resource-Efficient Cropping Systems under Research Area 2 Land Use and Governance. His work focuses on developing sustainable agricultural systems through advanced modeling and participatory approaches.

His research centers on resource-efficient cropping systems, with expertise in organic and conventional farming optimization. Key interests include legume-supported rotations, climate change adaptation strategies, and the bioeconomic dual-use of crops for food/fodder/fiber. He pioneers decision-support tools for agricultural management, particularly in forage legume-grass sward modeling, addressing ZALF's strategic goals in soil health, biodiversity, and agricultural digitalization. His methodologies integrate field research with simulation science to transform landscape-scale farming practices.

As part of ZALF's Research Area 2, Bachinger contributes to governance frameworks for sustainable land use, collaborating across ZALF's four research areas and innovation platforms. His work directly supports societal megatrend responses including climate resilience and agricultural transition pathways.
