Fertilizer Production through Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of Sewage Sludge (Project)
Many farmers rely on mineral fertilizers, the prices of which have recently tripled. This development has significant negative impacts on value creation in arable farming. Phosphate is primarily obtained through mining outside of Europe, imported into Germany, and used as fertilizer among other applications. In some regions, this leads to over-fertilization and environmental damage. At the same...

Think tank for rural areas (Project)
Innovative ideas in rural areas are usually the result of committed and well-connected farmers. Implementation often fails due to a lack of know-how or time on the part of the idea provider. The aim of this project is to train farmers as project managers within the framework of a ´rural think tank´ to support the implementation of innovative ideas. They will provide advice on technical and...

Air seeding - sowing catch crops and undersown crops by drone (Project)
Agriculture is directly affected by the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures, periods of drought and extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall require innovative cultivation methods in order to continue to secure yields and soil fertility in the long term. This is where the ?Flugsaat? project comes in, which is trialling the use of drones for sowing catch crops and undersown crops....

Digital vegetable garden (Project)
In recent years, innovative, small market garden centres have grown rapidly. These farms are characterised by resource-conserving cultivation and direct marketing to local consumers. Such methods promote sustainability and strengthen regional value creation. The ´Digitaler Gemüseacker´ project aims to make market gardens more effective and efficient through digitalisation. To this end, software...

Production and marketing of pear juice from meadow orchard (Project)
The survival of meadow orchards is threatened by increasing periods of heat and drought as a result of climate change. In contrast to the apple, the pear is much better adapted to this and could contribute to the preservation of these areas. However, large-scale utilisation of meadow orchard pears for juice production is currently not possible, as pears are sensitive to pressure and spoil...

Development of strategies and concepts for future-oriented 'Streuobstanbau´ adapted to climate change (Project)
The effects of climate change have so far only been examined to a limited extent in commercial fruit growing. Challenges such as the shift in full bloom from early May to mid-April and the resulting increased risk of late frosts, long periods of drought, torrential rain, strong solar radiation (UVB radiation) and frequent hail events are in the foreground. Studies on the occurrence of new...

Development of a web application for the risk assessment of the worm load of free-range laying hens (Project)
In Germany, many laying hens are kept in alternative forms of husbandry with free-range access. Worm eggs accumulate in the run because there are only limited biosecurity measures for prevention and treatment. An infestation with worms (so-called gastrointestinal helminths) can lead to health impairments and even the death of the laying hens. In the 'WURM-Frei' project, conclusions are to be...

Early sowing of malting barley (Project)
The yield and quality of malting barley depend crucially on the growing conditions. In particular, high temperatures during the grain filling phase have a negative impact on both factors, which is exacerbated by climate change. An earlier sowing date can help to reduce the probability of quality- and yield-reducing heat phenomena in this critical growth phase. The project aims to systematically...

HydroBeet - Optimising sugar beet cultivation (Project)
The aim of this project is to develop an innovative and locally adaptable cultivation system for sugar beet by combining known and new approaches, which increases the efficiency of the use of the available water for sugar beet cultivation. To this end, new means of production, sensor-based data and arable and crop cultivation measures are to be combined into an integrated approach in order to...

Systemic neophyte management concept for tiger nut grass in Lower Saxony (Project)
Agriculture is currently facing a number of challenges, such as climate change, which are evident to society as a whole. But lesser-known developments also pose challenges for agriculture, such as the spread of the neophyte tiger nut grass (Cyperus esculentus L.). Still relatively unknown to many farmers, the plant is spreading rapidly in some regions and is difficult to control. Using a...
