Co-written by TMG staff and a large number of outside collaborators, this report lays out several elements of a national research strategy aimed at transforming the German agricultural sector towards greater climate resilience. Noting both the considerable role played by German agriculture in greenhouse gas emissions - 25-33% of the national total, when considering the agriculture and food sector as a whole - and its increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change, for example in the form of drought, the report calls climate adaptation strategies that start from an integrated land management perspective. The paper begins by outlining a set of principles that should underpin the design of research studies for climate-resilient agriculture. It then outlines the importance of understanding transformation processes and indicates how science can be informed by these insights, including from political economy perspectives, to pursue transformative agricultural science studies. The authors then set out a number of specific areas for work in both mitigation and adaptation, including restoration of peatlands, changing consumption and production of animal protein products, reduction of nitrogen emissions in agriculture, plant breeding for diversity, and agroforestry. Setting all of these discussions into their political context, including by reflecting on incentives and subsidies, the paper argues for developing a comprehensive research agenda for climate resilient agriculture in Germany as part of an interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral project for national mitigation and adaptation.
