WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 5.2 Economic Evaluation of Risk Management Strategies (Project)

Climate change may affect agricultural households and communities in West Africa in different ways, depending on the direction of the change and on the preparedness of the household. High risk aversion of agents in the agricultural sector of low-income countries often hampers the spread of innovative technologies or farming practices. Risk-management instruments, like investment in better...

Collaborative Project: Development of innovative process integrated microbiological stage control systems for the reduction of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in meat production - Subproject 2 (Project)

The commercial success of meat and meat products in national and international markets depends on the production of healthy foods under proper hygiene conditions. Therefore, the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) initiated a program to promote innovations for the enhancement of meat quality. One task of this program addresses the reduction of Salmonella and...

Collaborative project: Framework to provide information to consumers at the point of sale concerning shelflife and product properties for fruit an vegetable using the example kiwifruit - subproject 2 (Project)

Consumers are worried about the circumstances under which fruit and vegetable have been produced. The aim of this project is therefore to develop a system which gathers data along the supply chain of kiwifruit production and provides this data to the consumer, who can use it to take his decision whether to buy or not at the point of sale. In detail the following information will be given to the...

Benefits of legume nurse crop in pea seeds: weed suppression, symbiotic N2 fixation and N preceding crop effect in systems of differentiated primary tillage (Project)

Several potential benefits for building soil fertility are provided by the growing of pulses. The most prominent are their ability for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and their value in designing sustainable crop rotations. Loose-soil husbandry (LSH) and no-plough firm-soil mulch husbandry (FSMH) enhance soil fertility based on erosion control and soil organic matter accumulation. The...

Collaborative project: Proactive phytosanitary risk analysis through modelling and monitoring: Adaptation to long-term risks caused by climate sensitive plant pests - subproject 2 (Project)

In the project "ProgRAMM - Proactive plant health risk analysis through modeling and monitoring: Adaptation to long-term risks from climate-sensitive plant pests", an open-source model was developed for evaluating climate-sensitive plant pests for risk analyses. With these, possible damage from new pests are assessed and management options for the prevention or reduction of their introduction and...
