Bewirtschaftungsentscheidungen

Bewirtschaftung is a German term that encompasses the management, use, and administration of land, resources, and property. The word combines be- with Wirtschaft (economy or management) and the suffix -ung, indicating a process. In practice, Bewirtschaftung denotes the organized planning, execution, and oversight of how resources are cultivated, conserved, allocated, or monetized.

In agriculture and farming, Bewirtschaftung describes practices that optimize yield while maintaining soil health and ecosystem services. It includes crop selection, fertilization, irrigation, pest management, harvest, and land improvement. In forestry it refers to the sustainable management of forests, including harvest planning, silvicultural treatments, reforestation, and protection against pests and disease.

In other domains, Bewirtschaftung extends to the management of natural resources such as water or minerals, energy resources, and real estate or infrastructure assets. It covers planning and budgeting, maintenance, asset registers, and monitoring of performance and compliance with regulations. Modern Bewirtschaftung often relies on information systems, data analytics, geographic information systems, and lifecycle management to optimize costs and service delivery.

Historically the concept developed with agrarian and industrial capitalism, and today it is used across public and private sectors. It emphasizes balancing economic objectives with sustainability, risk management, and social responsibility. The term overlaps with related concepts such as asset management, facility management, land use planning, and resource management.
