Mykovoltaik - an integrative agricultural cultivation management with hazelnuts and truffles under Agri-PV as a climate-resilient innovation (Project)

The Mykovoltaik project focuses on innovation impulses for the development of processes for the multiple use of agricultural and forestry land in the agricultural and food sector. Within the framework of this project, an innovative and climate-resilient concept for the multiple use of cultivated land will be realized by combining hazelnut bushes with truffle cultivation as a mycorrhizal fungus in...

Improving the Arnica value chain (Project)

Due to a sharp rise in the price of Arnica montana flowers, the cultivation of the flower now appears to be economically viable compared to wild collection, which used to be cheaper. Arnica cultivation can therefore represent an attractive alternative crop for farmers with high added value. The aim of the project is therefore to develop alternative sources of income for small and medium-sized...

Ribwort plantain for nitrous oxide reduction (Project)

In modern agriculture, nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate pollution from the use of fertilisers are a significant problem. These emissions contribute to climate change and nitrate pollution jeopardises water quality. In addition, these environmental problems also pose financial challenges for farmers, especially in vegetable production where fertiliser use is intensive. The project aims to...

Southern German pig production - future-oriented, climate-friendly, economical (Project)

The project focuses on climate-friendly pig production in consideration of economics an animal welfare. To transform this value chain into a climate-friendly, animal welfare-oriented and economically sustainable southern German pig production, the existing information platform 'Qualifood' needs to be upgraded with a central sustainability module. For this purpose, data and knowledge from various...

Water storage and operational strategy for climate change adaptation (Project)

The OG WassKli aims to sustainably strengthen the competitiveness and adaptability of agriculture in Lower Saxony, particularly in regions with increasing irrigation requirements. Considering increasing droughts and climatic changes, securing additional water resources from natural and artificial reservoirs is becoming essential to secure crop yields in terms of both quantity and quality. Without...

NextMix - Sensor-based real-time feeding of ruminants (Project)

Climate change is bringing extreme weather events such as droughts and heavy rainfall, which significantly affect the water content of silage in the silo. These variations affect feed quality and can cause animal health problems. Inaccurate adjustment of feed levels to changing weather conditions leads to inefficient use of resources and wastage of feed. Accurate determination of the dry matter...

Improving sustainability in the production and processing of malting barley (Project)

The project idea was primarily triggered by the high energy prices in 2022. These price increases affected not only the costs of fertilizers and plant protection products in barley cultivation but also led to higher energy costs and purchasing prices for barley, significantly increasing the production costs of barley-based food and beverage products. Throughout the entire value chain of...

Propagation of wild plants for the energy flowering mixtures on dry sites (Project)

The project is based on the idea of affected farmers to develop new sources of income for the Rhön-Grabfeld district, which is affected by severe drought, by propagating seeds and processing wild plants locally. The project aims to offer available seed mixtures at reasonable prices and with (regional) German origin. In addition, farmers are to be given access to these innovative (biogas) flower...

InsectTerra - energy & soil (Project)

The central question of this project is: ? How can high-quality insect waste be used in order to secure and improve the added value of the farm and the yield of the soil? In order to obtain the best possible use of the insect waste in terms of value creation on the farm, three different options will investigated: use in a biogas plant, composting and pelleting with biochar. These opions will be...

FloraGPT - AI- and sensor-controlled irrigation with user-friendly interface for peat replacementoptimised cultivation methods (Project)

The project vision is to create an intuitive AI solution that not only allows farms to efficiently adapt their irrigation to the peat substitute substrates, but also to control them fully automatically. In addition, the interaction with such complex systems is to be completely rethought. The aim is to explore a form of interaction that allows gardeners to speak intuitively with a digital...
