Collaborative project: ColMicroalgae with optimised stearidonic acid contents for utilization in fish diets - subproject 2 (Project)

The provision of adequate feed sources to fullfill the predicted increase of aquaculture production is of highest relevance as supply of conventional feed components as fishmeal and fishoil is restricted. As a result of this shortage prices of fishmeal and fishoil increased heavily and underlined the need to identify alternative feed sources for the aquaculture sector. Especially substitution of...

Subproject 6: Early diagnosis of the eco-physiological performance of locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) local resources (Project)

Breeding of fast-growing varieties of the genus Populus, Robinia, and Salix for the production of renewable resources in short rotation coppice plantations. Main objectives are selection, genetic characterisation, testing of resistance, and hybridisation of poplars within the section Populus as well as the cultivation of plants for test plantations. Plus trees and stands of black locust will be...

Taraxacum koksaghyz as a sustainable source for the local production of latex, rubber and inulin (TARULIN) - sub-project E (Project)

Taraxacum koksaghyz (Russian dandelion) is an undemanding plant that requires little fertilizer for its growth and that can be cultivated on marginal soil. It is an excellent source to provide industry with high-quality latex, rubber and inulin. These raw materials are the basis for the production of various products of daily use and therefore, of high commercial interest. Driven mainly by the...

GlobE: RELOAD - Minimizing post yield losses - value creation in East African´s food supply chains, Partner A (Project)

Under- and malnutrition are major risk factors accounting for over 28 percent of all deaths in Africa, nearly three million people annually. It remains Africa’s most fundamental challenge for human welfare and economic growth.Post-harvest losses (PHL) are a major factor in food shortages in Eastern Africa. Although the volume and impact of PHL are well-known, up to now little success has been...

Collaborative project: RNA-based crop protection technologies for sustainable control of rapeseed flea beetle in canola cultivation - Subproject E (Project)

The cabbage-stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) causes significant yield losses in rapeseed cultivation and conventional insecticides can no longer ensure yield protection in the future due to regulations and resistance development. An environmentally friendly alternative to conventional broad-spectrum pesticides is RNA interference (RNAi) technology. By sequence-specific silencing of...

Collaborative project: Extended certification of disposable and reusable packaging as an incentive and control instrument for the creation of innovations for the reduction of plastic packaging along the food chain - subproject C (Project)

Manufacturers are increasingly advertising the recyclability of the product packaging they place on the market and thus want to demonstrate a high level of environmental compatibility. However, the question arises whether the assessment of the recyclability of packaging is sufficient as a label and assessment standard for ecological packaging. An assessment of the circular economy capability,...
