About
Anja‐Kristina Techen is a leading researcher in sustainable soil management and agricultural land use, with a focus on balancing productivity with ecosystem integrity. Her work addresses the critical pressures on soil functions from intensified biomass production, particularly in Germany. Her most-cited paper, "Pressures on soil functions from soil management in Germany. A foresight review" (2017, 55 citations), provides a seminal foresight analysis of how global demands for food, feed, energy, and fiber challenge the sustainable intensification of agriculture. Techen’s key contribution lies in integrating soil productivity with other vital soil functions—such as carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity support—offering a holistic framework for land management. Her research informs policy and practice by highlighting trade-offs and synergies in soil stewardship. With a career dedicated to bridging agronomy and environmental science, Techen’s work is essential for students and researchers seeking to understand the future of soil health under mounting anthropogenic pressures. Her foresight approach has made her a notable voice in European soil governance and sustainable agriculture debates.
