The objective of the project is to increase the share of agricultural buildings with wood, considering current technical challenges. Towards this aim, planning principles for agricultural buildings will be transferred into the 21st century on the basis of prototype buildings. This involves the integration of regional value chains in rural areas, the consideration of current issues of hygiene and wood products and the development of possibilities for using the potential of existing construction wood. In addition, the database on climate and resource protection of agricultural buildings made with wood will be updated and deepened, and rendered usable for the Charta-for-Wood 2.0 Process. The result of the project is a planning guideline "Agricultural Building with Wood in the 21st Century". The guideline includes current issues - climate protection, animal welfare, regional value creation, durability, resource efficiency and economic efficiency as cross-sectional fields. These issues will be tackled holistically by an interdisciplinary research team.

With AP3 "Resource Potential", the project part of Wood Research Munich focuses on a fundamental characterization of farms, which means the analysis of their needs and possibilities concerning wood construction. The resource potential of the farm woodlands will be approximately quantified nationwide. In selected regions, actors in the previously used value chain as well as the material flows are identified and qualitatively and quantitatively investigated. Additionally, interviews are conducted regarding the success factors and obstacles. The potential of buildings with own or regional wood will be presented and recommendations for optimising regional value chains will be highlighted. With AP4 "Wood Products", the focus is on the experimental investigation of different types of wood and (innovative) wood products in terms of their properties, which are necessary for the special conditions of agricultural construction. This is done by laboratory experiments and field tests. The aim is to catalogue the advantages and disadvantages of each type of wood and each type of wood material in defined scopes based on selected criteria (chemical/physical/technical properties) for agricultural construction.
