The inter- and transdisciplinary approach of the study program encourages critical thinking, and graduates have the skills necessary to develop and execute diverse activities within a biobased economy. In particular, “Hohenheim bioeconomists” are able to
- plan, assess, and analyze the production and processing of renewable resources;
- coordinate the production of biobased products, adapted to specific locations;
- consider the interconnectedness and interdependencies of different utilization pathways for biomass;
- understand the key technologies used for the production of biobased products and advance their economic use;
- consider the societal requirements for biobased products and their production methods;
- organize the market launch of new biobased products;
- understand how (new) biobased products are embedded in value chains from micro- and macroeconomic perspectives; and coordinate the cooperation among different stakeholders in the development of biobased value chains.
