Global food security, renewable raw materials and energy from biomass, the conservation of biologi-cal diversity, climate- and environmental protec-tion, and Germany’s competitiveness are some of the major challenges facing this country at the beginning of this century. Meeting these challen-ges will require not only great social, economic and political effort, but also intense research efforts and new approaches to research and innovation.
