Genetic sensitivity to absolute and changing heat stress and genetic evaluation of heat tolerance in cattle (Project)
An animal's performance, well-being and health are influenced by biometeorological factors. It is assumed that the study of genetic sensitivity to absolute and fluctuating heat stress and a breeding value estimation for heat tolerance in cattle is of great importance for improving food security in developing countries. The doctoral candidate comes from the target region of the programme, namely...

Scaling-up effects of food value chain upgrading strategies on agricultural productivity and incomes in Tansania (Project)
The PhD study aims to investigate innovative agricultural upgrading strategies for plant and animal production in Tanzania. The impact of the strategies is examined by means of data consolidation, context-based cost-benefit maximization and impact theory. Decision-making processes in agriculture require a choice between alternative courses of action. Possible alternatives could be different...

Preferences for imported poultry meat in Africa: analysis of consumer demand for a selected country in sub-Saharan Africa (Project)
Many African countries import large quantities of frozen meat products such as poultry from overseas. As this trend is rising, so is the criticism of poultry meat products export by the EU to African countries, where food insecurity is often prevalent. Not much is known however on the demand for poultry meat products or the impact on individual demand behavior in those African countries, which...

Unlocking the Potential in Assessing Cropping Upgrading Strategies for Food Security in Dodoma, Tanzania (Project)
This project is being carried out in cooperation with the BMBF-funded Trans-SEC project in a semi-arid region of Tanzania. Using two models (SWAT and APEX), two currently tested upgrading strategies, namely micro fertiliser (MF) and rainwater harvesting (RWH), are to be transferred from the local field scale to other regions of Tanzania in order to improve regional food safety. Local...

Investigation of an alternative cropping system on former arid and semi-arid rangelands in the Golestan province, Iran (Project)
Over the last few decades, the clear majority of rangelands in north-eastern Iran have been converted to agricultural dryland farming. Unfortunately, due to inappropriate management practices, overgrazing and land use changes, today, most of this agricultural land has become exhausted and is now in danger of desertification, jeopardizing the food supply of local people. Climate change models...

OpenOrganicFarm (Project)
People who are interested in starting vegetable farming often do not have sufficient agronomic knowledge or tools to further professionalize their work. As a result, most of them do not start their own market garden or community-supported agriculture or already existing businesses are given up. The aim of the project is to develop a publicly accessible online tool that will make it easier for...

PotatoScan - Georeferenced size detection of root crops on agricultural machinery (Project)
The growing world population is forcing primary producers to increase their yields while maintaining the same land use, and at the same time the extreme weather conditions caused by climate change are making agricultural use more difficult. There are two problems in the potato industry: 1. Information on the size distribution of stored potato stocks is unclear. So far, it is hardly possible to...
