We welcome Tanja Busse, Journalist in Residence, to our Centre

Dr. Tanja Busse is at home in the fields of agriculture, sustainability, nutrition, ecology and resource efficiency. She received her doctorate with a thesis on apocalyptic ideas at the turn of the millennium and is interested in the transformation capacity of people in the anthropocene era since then.

With her latest book "Das Sterben der anderen. Wie wir die biologische Vielfalt noch retten können" (published 26.08.19, Blessing Verlag) she makes clear which worldwide consequences the decline in insect populations will have and already has.
