GlobE - African-German partnership to enhance resource use efficiency in urban and peri-urban agriculture for improved food security in West African cities (UrbanFood-Plus) (Collaborative project)

African food security not only depends on productivity increases in marginal rural areas, but also on a more efficient use of niche environments such as (peri-)urban zones where due to close market linkages between producers and consumers innovations are more easily adopted. There urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) covers 5% to 36% of a city’s total food supply and up to 90% of its fresh...

Whey2Food - Enhanced protein fractionation from protein sources for their use in special food applications (Collaborative project)

Whey is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and is considered a promising raw material for various commercial applications due to its high-value components (e.g. proteins) and its large availability. Around 81 million tons of liquid whey was produced by the approximately 150,000 European cheesemakers in EU-27 in 2011. However, according to the European Whey Products Association...

C-IPM: Coordinated Integrated Pest Management in Europe (Collaborative project)

C-IPM will provide an overall picture of ongoing and desired R&D efforts and of the resources available for IPM implementation. It will propose a common research agenda on IPM and on sustainable solutions in the context of minor uses. It will rapidly generate European-level added value by sharing outputs of ongoing national and regional research, and by disseminating R&D methods, experience and...

Flowering time control: from natural variation to crop improvement - Phase 1 (Collaborative project)

During evolution plants have co-ordinated the seasonal timing of flowering and reproduction with the prevailing environmental conditions. With the onset of flowering plants undergo the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive development. In the past years we have gained increasing knowledge of flowering time (FTi) regulation in model species such as Arabidopsis. Conservation of major...

LEGATO - Land-use intensity and Ecological Engineering – Assessment Tools for risks and Opportunities in irrigated rice based production systems (Collaborative project)

The project aims to advance long-term sustainable development of irrigated rice fields, against risks arising from multiple aspects of global change. The overall objective is the elaboration and testing of generally applicable principles within the frame of ecological engineering – an emerging discipline, concerned with design, monitoring and construction of ecosystems. The project plans to...
