Bernd Schuh is a senior expert at Spatial Foresight since 2024. He has obtained this expertise in the fields of policy analysis of public policies with an emphasis on quantitative research and analysis applied to public policies, territorial and distributional impact analysis and simulation modelling. He has proven this capacity during more than 40 years of professional experience in the field of agriculture and EU policy. During his professional life Bernd Schuh has been involved in more than 350 projects, in a majority of them as project leader (being responsible for interdisciplinary and international teams of up to 60 colleagues and a budget of up to 2 Mio €). Being a learnt economist with a specialization in environmental and ecological economics as well as agricultural economics he has worked for decades for international institutions such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Committee of the Regions, UNDP and the World Bank. Especially with the European General Directorate for Agriculture he has a strong track record – having started 20 years ago in the fields of analysing and synthesizing the CAP and Rural Development. For the last four years he has been in the core team of experts within the Framework Contract No. AGRI-2017-0319 on territorial aspects of the CAP and thus involved in all assignments therein covering amongst others young farmers, social and labour conditions in agriculture, living conditions in rural areas, societal demands touched by the CAP and on-farm modernization and knowledge-base. Apart from this work for the European General Directorate for Agriculture, Bernd Schuh has conducted several projects in these fields for other institutions – e.g. within the European Research Programmes, for the EIB and National Authorities. Prior to joining the Spatial Foresight team, he has been one of the directors of a medium sized consulting company for more than ten years.
