SOLID - Sustainable Organic and Low-input Dairying (Collaborative project)
Organic and low-input dairy farming systems are increasingly noted as delivering multifunctional benefits to the agricultural industry and society but technical and economic constraints prevent widespread adoption. SOLID will deliver an innovative toolbox of novel methodologies that will contribute to the competitiveness of the dairy industry and increase the effectiveness with which these...

FOCAS - Food, Convenience and Sustainability (Collaborative project)
The project takes a ‘theories of practice’ approach, examining the largely taken-for-granted, routine and socially embedded character of food-related consumer behaviour. Rather than adopting a deficit model (where consumers are assumed to lack the relevant knowledge or skills on which to make informed choices), the project seeks to understand the different stocks of knowledge which consumers use...

EuroMix - A tiered strategy for risk assessment of mixtures of multiple chemicals (Collaborative project)
Euromix aim to develop an experimentally verified, tiered strategy for the risk assessment of mixtures of multiple chemicals derived from multiple sources across different life stages. The project takes account of the gender dimension and balances the risk of chemicals present in foods against the benefits of those foods. Important concepts for this new strategy are prioritisation criteria for...

FishFermPlus - Added-value bioprocessing for Fish raw materials via low-cost Fermentation technologies delivering a PLUS in the sustainable production, consumer safety and quality of highly sensitive fish products (Collaborative project)
FishFermPlus targets to support the economic viability and resource-efficiency of SMEs in fish/seafood value chains. Under-utilised, high-quality raw materials from capture fishery and aquaculture production (e.g. homogenised fish flesh from fillet production) will be used for a novel fermentation process with higher cost-efficiency and a more simple implementation than previous mere...

BioEcoSIM - An innovative bio-economy solution to valorise livestock manure into a range of stabilised soil improving materials for environmental sustainability and economic benefit for European agriculture (Collaborative project)
BioEcoSIM comprises R&D and demonstration of an integrated approach and business model that has wide EU27 applicability in the agriculture sector. The new European Bio-economy Strategy aims to increase the use of bio-based raw materials. Thus, large quantities of fertilisers will be required. Therefore, this project targets to produce sustainable soil improving products that can be easily...

SECTOR - Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (Collaborative project)
Torrefaction is considered worldwide as a promising key technology for boosting large-scale implementation of bioenergy. It involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to a temperature of 200 to 320 °C. As a result, the biomass looses all its moisture and becomes easy to grind and water resistant, which reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition and biological degradation and permits outdoor...

COMPARE - Collaborative Management Platform for detection and Analyses of (Re-)emerging and foodborne outbreaks in Europe (Collaborative project)
COMPARE aims to harness the rapid advances in molecular technology to improve identification and mitigation of emerging infectious diseases and foodborne outbreaks. To this purpose COMPARE will establish a “One serves all” analytical framework and data exchange platform that will allow real time analysis and interpretation of sequence-based pathogen data in combination with associated data (e.g....

SURUMER - Sustainable Rubber Cultivation in the Mekong Region (Collaborative project)
The overall objective of the joint project SURUMER is to develop an integrative, applicable, and stakeholder-validated concept for sustainable rubber cultivation in Yunnan. The outcomes of the project will not only refer to the regional situation of the study region. Rather, they provide a wider application for potential rubber cultivation areas across the Mekong region. The concept is based on...

optiKuh - Improvement of dairy farming by breeding strategies for feed intake, metabolism, and environmental sustainability under conditions of optimized feeding intensity and utilization of metabolism indicators and sensors in herd management (Collaborative project)
Development of a nucleus with high feed intake and robust metabolism by using spectral data of milk analysis and genomic informations. Target is a number of 3000 cows (2200 with identified genotype). Experiments to evaluate intensity of feeding on animal welfare, metabolism and milk performance over 2 years with two roughage qualities (6,1 MJ NEL/kg DM, 6,5 MJ NEL/kg DM and 2 levels of...
