Vergleich von Nutzungsoptionen extensiven Ökogrünlands – Eine stochastische Risikoanalyse

Summary

As agri-environmental schemes often do not provide sufficient financial compensa-tion for an environmentally sound management of semi-natural grasslands, this study intended to identify ecologically and economically sustainable grassland management options, as well as their respective risk potentials. Economic and risk analyses of organic bio-energy, animal husbandry and landscape maintenance systems indicate, that the newly developed IFBB-System (Integrated Generation of Solid Fuel and Biogas from Biomass) as an add-on system to a customary biogas plant exhibits the most risk-stable and economically exquisite land use system. The regarded animal husbandry system relies on optimal framework conditions, while landscape maintenance systems below the line are costly preservation measures, displaying a low risk potential, however.
