Exposure and impact of Bt maize with multiple resistance genes for nematodes (Project)
The aim of this project is to investigate the effects of the genetically modified Bt maize cultivar MON89034xMON88017, which produces three different Bt proteins, on nematodes (roundworms).

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 4.1 Population dynamics (Project)
The study is looking at a wider complex situation linking Demography to natural resource management in West Africa. It aims to investigate how the living conditions, the productivity and the political and economic decisions that local farmers and herders take with regards to their resource use. It fills a void in knowledge by establishing the impact of Population dynamics (migrations, fertility...

WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 4.2 Local Markets (Project)
Climate change is expected to affect local (here used in the sense of sub-national districts) markets in West Africa by causing temporal shortages of locally produced food commodities (see e.g. FAO/GIEWS 2010). At the same time, ongoing demographic developments may cause increased demand for food commodities and supply of labor. Economic analyses of local commodity, services, and factor markets...

Rational design of plant systems for sustainable generation of value-added industrial products (SMARTCELL) (Project)
Plants sustainably produce low levels of secondary metabolites of high industrial value. However, they are often too complex to be economically manufactured by chemical synthesis. Advanced metabolic engineering and exploitation of plants as Green Factories has been prevented due to poorly understood metabolic pathways in plants and the regulation thereof. SmartCell brings together 14 leading...

Systems Biology as a Driver for Industrial Biotechnology (SYSINBIO ) (Project)
Objective: Metabolic engineering is an applied science focusing on developing new cell factories or improving existing ones. Metabolic engineering is an enabling science, and distinguishes itself from applied genetic engineering by the use of advanced analytical tools for identification of appropriate targets for genetic modifications and the use of mathematical models to perform in silico design...

Natural antimicrobials for innovative and safe packaging (NAFISPACK ) (Project)
Objective: The main objective of the present project is to develop novel packaging technologies that will avoid/reduce and detect the growth of pathogens and spoilage microoganism responsible for product lost in perishable food products of interest: fresh fish, fresh chicken and minimally processed vegetables (MPVs). The target foods were selected among many, for different reasons: the...

Effect of diet on the mental performance of children (NUTRIMENTHE ) (Project)
Objective: Current evidence on the effect of diet on mental performance (MP) is largely based on animal, retrospective studies, and short-term nutritional intervention studies in humans. NUTRIMENTHE will significantly improve this knowledge through studying the role, mechanisms, risks & benefits of specific nutrients & food components to respond to specific needs and improve the MP of children....

Macrophage systems biology applied to disease control (MACROSYS ) (Project)
Objective: Cattle farming is one of the most important agricultural activities in the EU. This project will address issues of the health and welfare of cattle and the safety of cattle products, focusing on diseases that are on the increase in European cattle population and are of growing concern elsewhere. Two related diseases will be targeted, bovine tuberculosis (TB) and bovine paratuberculosis...

Future Crops for Food, Feed, Fiber and Fuel (4F CROPS) (Project)
Objective: As different sectors food, feed, fiber, and fuels compete for land, the yielding potential of the future non-food crops has to be as efficient as possible in order to minimize the competition for land. The main objective of the proposed 4F CROPS is to survey and analyse all the parameters that will play an important role in successful non-food cropping systems in the agriculture of...

Genomics for triticeae improvement (TRITICEAEGENOME) (Project)
For many years the size and complexity of the wheat, barley and rye genomes have hampered the development of genomics and its application to produce Triticeae crops with improved composition and characteristics. Recently, however, new and more efficient scientific capabilities and resources have been developed that allows robust genomic programs to be established for the Triticeae....
