3. Institutional and Organisational Aspects

This theme includes research on organizational aspects of economic phenomena, transactions and processes which, for example, relate to agri-food value chains, contract farming or agri-environmental schemes. The growing importance of vertical and horizontal coordination and the use of contracts in national, EU and global agri-food value chain aspects of the bioeconomy imply ample needs and opportunities for research within this theme to enrich and extend the scientific discourse and improve the understanding of society.
