Bettina Hitzfeld an der NFP 68-Syntegration

As Roland von Arx has retired, Bettina Hitzfeld, Head of the Soil and Biotechnology Department, will from December 2017 be representing the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) on the NRP 68 Steering Committee. NRP 68 would like to thank Roland von Arx for his contribution. Bettina Hitzfeld is very familiar with the programme’s research. For example, she took part in Syntegration (see Focus).

40 participants identified five key recommendations and six active levers for a sustainable use of soil as a resource. And NRP 68 gained a sound basis for defining the structure of the overall synthesis.
