North Sea Observation and Assessment (NOAH) (Project)
We propose to develop a comprehensive georeferenced inventory of seafloor properties in the German Bight of the North Sea ('habitat map'). This central product will be generated by: 1) analysing and processing existing sedimentological, geochemical, biological and human impact data to derive statistically distinct sediment provinces. Within these provinces, we identify homogeneous and...

Validation and identification of important marker trait associations for traits of agronomic importance towards the development of improved wheat varieties (VALID) (Project)
Within the VALID consortium consisting of scientific institutions and private companies marker trait associations detected in wheat will be validated to make them applicable in wheat breeding. In a set of winter wheat cultivars association studies for yield, yield components, drought tolerance and pathogen resistance will be conducted. For validating these associations bi-parental populations...

Characterization of the Solanum tuberosum proteome under conditions of nitrogen deficiency and drought stress as basis for breeding of nitrogen efficient and drought tolerant starch potatoes (Project)
The intensified agricultural production of renewable raw materials bears the risk of environmental pollution by leaching of nitrogen and emission of greenhouse gases. Nitrogen availability, uptake efficiency and leaching are directly linked to the amount of water in the soil. Scenarios for climate change predict prolonged periods of drought in Central Europe in springtime and early summer, the...

Monitoring of animal genetic resources in Germany: sheep / goat (Project)
The revision of the German law for animal breeding assigns a monitoring of genetic diversity within certain breeds for all farm animal species. The animal breeding associations are committed to provide results to Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) useful for description and evaluation of the available resp. remaining genetic diversity within their supervised breeds. The umbrella...

Development and Testing of a Concept for Documentation and Evaluation of Productive Interactions and Impacts on Practice and Society in Agricultural Research (Project)
Currently, established research evaluation procedures are largely based on peer review publications, citation based indicators and third-party funds. However, the focus on the 'scientific impact' only partially captures to what extent research contributes to solving societal or ecological problems. An increasing number of scientists and initiatives point out the responsibility of (public funded)...

Development and Testing of a Concept for Documentation and Evaluation of Productive Interactions and Impacts on Practice and Society in Agricultural Research (Project)
The project aims to contribute to an increase in the acknowledgement of societal contributions made by agricultural research, in addition to that of scientific quality and impact. To this end we developed and tested a documentation structure and an evaluation concept for agricultural projects; these provide synergies with research funding agencies, in order to generate multiple benefit at...

Nature in Focus - consulting concept to promote the awareness for the protection of nature and the benefits of farmers (Project)
During the three-year project period, the consultancy concept “Fokus-Naturtag” was developed in cooperation with governmental and non-governmental organizations from agriculture and nature conservation in three German federal states. It was then tested and analyzed on one hundred farms. The aim of the consultancy concept was to foster environmental aware-ness among farmers as designers of...

SECTOR: Production of Solid Sustainable Energy Carriers from Biomass by Means of Torrefaction (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...

Evaluation of the German Federal Research Programme on Organic Agriculture (Project)
The Federal Scheme on Organic Agriculture (BÖL) was set up in 2001 by the German Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (then BMVEL) to boost organic farming in Germany and to increase the quality and the market share of organic products. Run by the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE), BÖL was initially limited to 2 years, but was repeatedly extended, with current funding...
