FarmFUSE: Fusion of multi-source and multi-sensor information on soil and crop for optimised crop production system (Collaborative project)
The inherited spatial and temporal variation of soil properties and nutrients is critical for determining VR strategies for crop production, but is typically derived from soil samples data collected at insufficient resolution (typically 1 soil sample per 1-3 ha) to match the underlying variation within the fields. These traditional methods of soil analyses are expensive, time consuming and allow...

Healthy Nutrition and Sustainable Food Production (Collaborative project)
The main goals of the National Research Programme 'Healthy Nutrition and Sustainable Food Production' (NRP 69) are to provide a practical base of knowledge about how healthy eating can be promoted in Switzerland, how enough high quality and safe food can be made available at affordable prices and with an optimal resource management and environmental impact. The conclusions of this NRP will thus...

Animal - human - society. Interdisciplinary approaches to animal research (Collaborative project)
The relation of man to animal is ambivalent since the beginning of civilization: Animals are for example meat suppliers, often they are regarded as enemies (for example, so-called pests or predators), but sometimes also as best friends. Even in the early days of man animals counted as first art motifs, at times they were seen as incarnations of gods, then man used them as test objects. The focus...

ANIPLAN - Minimising medicine use in organic dairy herds through animal health and welfare planning (Collaborative project)
Livestock is important in many organic farming systems, and it is an explicit goal to ensure high levels of animal health and welfare (AHW) through good management. This will lead to reduced medicine use and better quality of animal products. In two EU network projects NAHWOA & SAFO it was concluded that this is not guaranteed merely by following organic standards. Both networks recommended...

ZooMap - Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (Collaborative project)
Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP), the causative agent of paratuberculosis, is discussed in the context with Crohn´s disease in humans. However the final impact of MAP for Crohn`s disease is still unknown. The network 'ZooMAP' consists of eight groups of different research fields (immunology, human- & veterinary medicine). The projects will focus on the appearance of MAP in milk and...
