Ingo Grass

Ingo Grass serves as a Visiting Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences within the Faculty of Science. His research focuses on sustainable agricultural systems and environmental monitoring, with recent publications in high-impact journals including Science and Global Ecology and Biogeography.

Grass's primary research interests center on agricultural diversification, biodiversity conservation, and innovative environmental monitoring techniques. His work examines how diversified farming systems generate joint environmental and social benefits, particularly for smallholder farmers in developing regions. He also investigates passive acoustic monitoring across ecosystems to assess biodiversity changes and anthropogenic impacts, contributing to global conservation efforts through large-scale collaborative studies.

His recent publications demonstrate significant scientific impact, with the 2024 Science article on agricultural diversification receiving coverage from 78 news outlets, policy references, and substantial social media engagement. The 2023 One Earth review on institutional pathways for agricultural diversification was highlighted across multiple platforms including news media and academic networks.

Grass actively collaborates with international researchers across disciplines, as evidenced by his participation in large multi-author projects involving institutions worldwide. His work bridges agricultural science, environmental policy, and social ecology to address complex sustainability challenges in food systems.
