Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
Overview
The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, established in 1997 and located in Italy, operates within the education sector, specifically focusing on higher education as a college and university. With an employee size ranging from 51 to 200, the institution emphasizes research and education in various fields, including agricultural, environmental, and food sciences. A recent published study highlights the environmental efficiency of beef cattle production in marginal Alpine areas, examining factors such as slaughter age and carbon sequestration. This research underscores the role of extensive farming systems in mountainous regions, where limited arable land influences agricultural practices. The study also addresses the greenhouse gas emissions associated with beef production, particularly in the context of South Tyrol, where dairy farming is more prevalent than beef production. The university's commitment to addressing environmental challenges through academic inquiry is evident in its research output, contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable agriculture and environmental impact mitigation.
