As part of BASF’s research project “The Role of Monetary and Other Specific Aspects in Sustainability Measurement and Assessment”, this doctoral research is aimed at understanding and measuring the impacts of agricultural practices on the social dimension of sustainability. As such, it seeks to develop a robust methodology to identify, measure, and interpret indicators of social sustainability in agricultural systems, and to propose approaches for the possible transfer to further sectors. This will include drafting a sound research proposal, collecting, and analysing data, publishing research papers, and running construct validity tests.

This project is funded by TU Dresden (BASF).
