Laufende Projekte
Das vom Sächsischen Staatsministerium für Energie, Klimaschutz, Umwelt und Landwirtschaft geförderte Projektteam aus Forscher:innen und Praktiker:innen untersucht die Potenziale innovativer landwirtschaftlicher Produktionsansätze wie etwa Solidarische Landwirtschaften (SoLawi), um regionale Wertschöpfung, Nachhaltigkeit, Produktivität und Resilienz gleichermaßen zu stärken. InnoLand-Sachsen beforscht potentielle Synergieeffekte der SoLawis auf die Transformation der sächsischen Landwirtschaft z.B. inwieweit ein langfristig kostendeckender Betrieb mit einer handhabbaren Organisationsstruktur und ökologisch nachhaltiger Bewirtschaftung geschaffen werden kann. Diese Maßnahme wird mitfinanziert mit Steuermitteln auf Grundlage des von den Abgeordneten des SächsichenLandtags beschlossenen Haushalts.
Dazu werden bestehende Standards und bewährte Methoden (best practices) ausgewertet und integriert und anschließend in einer umfassenden Machbarkeitsstudie (Proof of Concept) implementiert und getestet, wobei exemplarisch Daten zur globalen Landnutzungsdynamik verwendet werden.
