Miet Maertens (KU Leuven) and the co-supervision of Dr. Petr Havliģk (IIASA) and Prof. Dr. Nicole Van Lipzig (KU Leuven).

The Belgian Association of Agricultural Economists (BAAE) aims to bring together those interested in the field of agricultural policy and agricultural economics around certain specific themes that are usually clarified from an academic perspective. However, the BAAE is not only aimed at specialists in the research world, but also at those who practise agricultural economics in practice: people from professional circles, members of administrations, politicians, leading figures from the business world including supplying and processing companies, students, etc.
