Berit Hasler

Berit Hasler serves as Professor and Head of Section at the Department of Food and Resource Economics (IFRO), University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Her dual leadership spans the Section for Production, Markets and Policy and the Section for Environment and Natural Resources, focusing on policy-relevant environmental economic research with direct governmental impact.

Her research expertise centers on environmental economics, natural resource management, and climate policy analysis. She pioneers integrated environmental-economic modeling to quantify trade-offs between agricultural production and ecological goals, specializing in biodiversity valuation, water quality economics, and multi-criteria land-use optimization for Danish and European contexts.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal strong thematic cohesion around policy implementation, featuring scenario analyses for climate-biodiversity-water synergies, nutrient reduction cost assessments, and biodiversity valuation frameworks. Her work consistently bridges academic modeling with real-world policy instruments through commissioned reports for Danish institutions.

Professor Hasler actively leads research teams on high-impact environmental policy projects, though specific grant details and student supervision records remain undisclosed in available materials. Her collaborative network spans ecology, hydrology, and agricultural science disciplines within Copenhagen and national research consortia.
