Collaborative project: Innovative and waste-preventing system solutions for packaging-free grocery shopping - subproject C (Project)
...In order to make such a contribution to sustainable development and to a more ecologically compatible food consumption by dispensing with packaging, various factors have to be taken into account, which are reflected in the sub-objectives of the project: 1) Alternative packaging concepts or unpackaging solutions cannot or must not start at the retail level. For this reason, the chain of packaging and logistics processes upstream of food retailing should be investigated in order to identify adaptation options that save resources and minimize food losses. 2) Core packaging requirements include protection from mechanical, biological, chemical impacts and ensuring minimum shelf life. ...The third sub-objective therefore focuses on the development of concepts that take into account the wishes of consumers and are therefore suitable for a wide range of customers and are not only aimed at niche users (e.g. LOHAS)....

Extension of the lactation period and selective dry cow therapy (SDCT) to minimize antibiotic use in dairy cows (Project)
...The extension of lactation and calving interval, respectively, leads to fewer calvings per cow and farm and raises the possibility of benefitting from the minimization of critical time spans with an exceptional high risk for diseases, which are 1.the calving and 2.the first month of lactation. ...Informational meetings will be held on farm, combined with eLearning units....

Monitoring of the iodine and sodium supply in the adult population under the Federal Health Survey (BGS) at the RKI (Project)
...As part of the study on adult health in Germany (DEGS) will be determined as possible in all 7500 participants aged 18 to 89 years following parameters: iodine and sodium excretion in spot urine, thyroid volume (ultrasonography), thyroid hormones (TSH, fT3, fT4) and thyroid autoantibodies (anti-TPO anti-TG) in serum. ...

SFB 564: D4.1 - Livestock parasites and parasitic zoonoses in smallholder farming systems of Northern Vietnam (Project)
...While farmers in valleys (near roads or towns) use e.g. pig production for income generation, the more remote mountain slopes are dominated by subsistence farming. ...While different genotypes of E. granulosus mainly use pigs and goats for transmission, E. ortleppi is a parasite of cattle. ...Blocking the transmission routes of parasites will finally result in increased productibility and quality of livestock and may have an impact on the market potential of livestock and their products. Therefore, D4.1 is also linked with the sub-project E3.2 (Product marketing) which analyzes the market potential of agricultural products. ...

Effects of resistance, drought stress and diversity areas on herbivorous insects and their antagonists: Crop damage developments in wheat - a contribution to future yield security (Project)
...This reorientation in arable farming can be achieved by a combination of a) adapted breeding strategies (especially taking into account frequent extreme climatic events and seasonal shifts), b) reduction of pests and promotion of pest antagonists by diversification of crops and arable diversity areas (as ecological infrastructure), as well as by c) a more extensive (integrative) sustainable plant protection. ...The overall goal of the project is to answer the questions 1. Do new wheat varieties optimized for cultivation according to current cultivation practice compared to older varieties from six decades of breeding progress influence - directly the population dynamics of important cereal pests and their antagonists? ...(in the observation of different species constellations - pairwise species comparison and tritrophic, one and more pests / antagonists in combination) 2. Can selective and optimized diversity areas as ecological infrastructure in the agricultural landscape in combination with the wheat varieties - guarantee an improvement of the natural pest regulation? ...

Investigation of problems in plant production of long-term organic farms; cooperation model farmers – advisors – scientists (Project)
...On the basis of information from farmers and advisors the main focus was put on: (1) humus and cereal yield, (2) spotwise growth depression of cereals and (3) damage to peas. ...The nematode problem in organic farming could possibly spread, because of, e.g., climatic changes and new management systems. ...Further scientific research is required, e.g., for effective seed treatment procedures and with regard to the crop rotation-soil properties-foot diseases-complex....

REGECON - Economics of Climate Change: Regional Economic EvaluaCon of AdaptaCon Measures in Agricultural, Forestry, and Bioenergy ProducCon under the Influence of Climate Change (Project)
...Step-wise Objectives: To obtain spatially-explicit estimates for agricultural yield in multiple scenarios of annual climate and agricultural land use, also with introduction of 2nd generation bioenergy crops. To determine economically favorable land use in producti on in the context of different adaptation strategies to climate change (including policy options). ...To evaluate the tradeoffs between crop production for food and for biomass, as well as between 1st and 2nd generation biomass crops in terms of land use and economic gains and losses....

FOR 536 P2: Nitrogen supply of grassland and its belowground productivity as influenced by stocking rate, management and availability of water (Project)
...First, at the Leymus chinensis site, we will build on the existing N x water field experiment initiated by P2 in 2004/2005 under moderate and very intensive grazing for studying mid-term effects of moderate N application. ...The overall objective in P2 is thus twofold, i) provide insight in the supply to and uptake of nitrogen by plants as affected by grazing and water availability, and ii) contribute to the understanding of matter fluxes and species competition in these ecosystems as basis for durable productivity and biodiversity...

Contribution of fog deposition to water and nutrient cycling in a subtropical mountain cloud forest (Project)
...An experimental ecosystem research study close to the Yuan Yang Lake (YYL) site, in the subtropical mountain cloud forest of northern Taiwan at 1650 m a.s.l. is proposed. The applicants aim to study the contribution of fog deposition to the hydrological and nitrogen cycle within a stand of Chamaecyparis obtusa var. formosana, which is an extraordinarily important cypress species of Taiwan, and which is being regenerated trough forestry activities lately. ...The project consists of two parts, one is a long term (2 years) program to quantify deposition of fog an evapotranspiration of water through model approaches, based on field routine observations. ...
