Collaborative project: Promoting reusable solutions to reduce single-use plastic service packaging through take-back automation, point-of-sale interventions and opportunities for digitalisation in user behavior - subproject B (Project)

The aim of the REPAID project is to comprehensively examine how reusable systems in the area of service packaging can or must be designed in order to drastically reduce packaging waste from single-use packaging in out-of-home consumption and to make them economically viable in the long term. The focus is on increasing the rates of use, return and reuse through social and technical innovations. To...

GlobE: UrbanFoodPlus - African-German partnership to enhance resource use efficiency in urban and peri-urban agriculture for improved food security in West African cities, partner B (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...

BonaRes (Modul A, Phase 2): DiControl - Impacts on agronomical management as well as on the employment of microbial biocontrol strains on soil health and suppressivness towards pathogens - subproject B (Project)

The project aim is the investigation of the impact of long-term farming strategies (intensive and extensive) on the soil microbiome and its function in terms of soil suppressiveness against plant pathogens. In addition, the associated rhizosphere microbiome will be analyzed considering plant characteristics (model: lettuce). Intensive farming strategies can result in substantial yield losses...

Collaborative project: Development of a cost-effective value chain for bio-based olefins and complex nutrients based on insect biomass for industrial application (CIP - Competitive Insect Products). Subproject B (Project)

The steady population growth leads to an increasing demand for food and feed. According to projections by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), wheat production will need to increase by 60% by 2050 to meet the food needs of nine billion people. According to DVT (Deutscher Verband für Tiernahrung), Germany's livestock farmers (agricultural and private) spend over EUR...

Alternative methods - Collaborative project: Reduction of animal testing to establish risk of injury on fish caused by turbine passage through the use of robotic surrogates, computational fluid mechanics and predictive modeling. Subproject B (Project)

The objective of the project is to reduce the use of live fish experiments in the evaluation of injuries caused by passage through turbines and other descent corridors in installations. This is done by complementing (and in the longer term replacing) those experiments with partly-autonomous robotic systems and numerical simulations: Electronic fish surrogates will be outfitted with custom...

Collaborative project: Looking forward – climate-smart approaches utilizing regional side-streams and innovative feed technology on yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) as feedstuff for non-ruminants - subproject B (Project)

We need to create the prerequisites to convert side-streams and waste material into valuable products by processing and utilizing this biomass efficiently and make it available for downstream procedures (BMEL, 2020)". The capacity of insect larvae to convert side-stream substrates into valuable feedstuffs for livestock in a circular system is tremendous, but so far under-utilized. Life cycle...

Collaborative project: Innovative Data Science-based approach for health monitoring in calves and young cattle through targeted integration of practically relevant digital data and establishment of novel benchmarking parameters - subproject B (Project)

The aim of the project is to explore and develop new approaches for documenting and monitoring the health of calves and young cattle through the extension of the existing FokusMobil and LKV-Rind-App apps of the LKV NRW and BW, based on data-technological innovations. This will enable the use of additional biological performance indicators as future dairy cows or fattening animals, and could...

Collaborative project: The research project VersiPack: Versatile and self-organising system for user-specific beverage packaging aims to create a novel, versatile system concept for beverage filling and thus enable new business models in the beverage industry - subproject G (Project)

The aim of the overall project is to create a novel, versatile plant concept for beverage filling. Development, analysis and evaluation are based on flexible and location-independent modules and an Internet of Things technology platform. This will open up new business models especially for the beverage and supplier industry, as well as for small and medium-sized breweries. The aim of this...

SFB/TRR 32 Project B4 : Upscaling of local C02, water and heat fluxes to the field scale from observed spatio-temporal patterns using an integrative 3-D mechanistic process model (Project)

A 3-D process model, which simulates spatio-temporal distributions of water, energy and CO2 fluxes, turn-over of soil carbon pools, plant water uptake, transpiration, assimilation, and respiration within a field plot, will be developed. The model will be used to interpret spatial patterns and their interdependencies of soil properties (hydraulic properties and carbon content), state variables,...
