معرفی
Dr. Christian Troost is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer at the Department of Land Use Economics at the University of Hohenheim. His work combines agent-based modeling and bioeconomic simulation to analyze agricultural adaptation to climate variability and resource use decisions across diverse farming systems in Germany, Chile, and Ethiopia.
- Education: BSc in Geography (Bochum, 2006), MSc in Agricultural Economics (Hohenheim/Wageningen, 2009), PhD in Agricultural Sciences (Hohenheim, 2014)
- Methodology: Specializes in uncertainty analysis, high-performance computing, and model validation protocols for complex agricultural systems
Troost's research advances the MPMAS software package for integrated land system modeling. His 2025-2024 work focuses on pesticide reduction policies, hybrid intelligence systems for biodiversity-productivity tradeoffs, and agroforestry as climate adaptation in Ethiopia.
Scientific Recognition:
- Gerhard-Fürst Prize (2015)
- Südwestbankpreis (2015)
As an educator, he teaches farm system modeling and environmental economics at PhD, MSc, and BSc levels. His collaborative projects span DFG-funded climate change research, BMBF biodiversity initiatives, and German-Ethiopian CLIFOOD graduate programs.
