Shaping Food Environments in Transitioning Economies for sustainable and healthy diets (Project)
The ‘triple burden’ of malnutrition (undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overnutrition) is now prevalent in many countries irrespective of wealth. Diets and dietary habits and the food value chains, which have globally become increasingly uniform and unhealthy, contribute significantly to the non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. Nutrition transition towards an increase in meat...

Integrated postharvest technologies for improved food and nutrition security in Sub-Saharan Africa: Case study Mango (Project)
The aim of this project, implemeted by the Leibniz Institute for Agricultural Engineering Potsdam-Bornim (Germany) and the Tshwane University of Technology (South Africa), is to provide cost-effective solutions to reduce the postharvest losses in fresh mango on the way from the grower to the market and the consumer. The use of environmentally friendly and energy-saving technologies along the...

Implementing innovative processing technologies for nutrient-dense plant foods (African indigenous vegetables and legumes) to safeguard perennial nutrition security – an East African and Southeast African country comparison (Project)
The aim of Vegi-Leg is to improve food security year-round for the rural population affected by anaemia and malnutrition in Tanzania (TC) and Mozambique (MC). With the participation of smallholders, subsistence farmers, entrepreneurs and scientists, the development of nutrient-friendly processing technologies and the conservation of nutritious, micronutrient-rich plant foods (iron, vitamin A) and...

Collaborative project: Sugar beet of the future: Model- and data-based yield scenarios for a climate-adapted selection in breeding - subproject B (Project)
The project is intended to investigate the impact on the yield of sugar beet which results from the current range of climate scenarios and in which way plant breeding can adapt. Thereby, an adapted choice of selection locations and/or the integration of indirect selection characteristics are hypothesized as reasonable adaptation strategies. These approaches may be used directly for...

Collaborative project: Identification of plant defence substances for breeding resistant sugar beet against the beet moth - subproject A (Project)
Sugar from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L., Chenopodiaceae) is a product of the food industry in Central Europe, which places the highest technological demands on the plant raw material. At the time of harvest, the storage root contains up to 20% sucrose. The profitability of sugar beet cultivation depends decisively on the yield and the quality of the raw material. The beet moth, Scrobipalpa...

Collaborative project: Characterisation of the virulence spectrum of Fusarium spp. for breeding climate-adapted pea varieties - subproject A (Project)
The aim is to develop high-performance and yield-stable pea varieties using the speed-breeding approach, which allows a higher selection intensity per year and thus significantly accelerates breeding progress. Yield security should be significantly improved by resistance to Fusarium spp. For this purpose, a comprehensive characterization of the virulence spectrum of Fusarium spp. in the important...

Collaborative project: Safeguarding high-quality and healthy propagation material of blueberry by identification of causes for off-types - subproject A (Project)
Blueberries are becoming increasingly popular mainly due to their health-promoting ingredients, which is reflected in the growing production area in Germany and worldwide. For some years now, a further expansion of the domestic cultivation area has been hindered by a problem, which consists in non-genuine plant material, so-called off-types. These plants differ in habit and yield from the...
