Improved bio-traceability of unintended micro-organisms and their substances in food and feed chains (Biotracer) (Project)
The strategic objective of BIOTRACER is to improve traceability of microorganisms (biotraceability) contaminating the food/feed chain (including bottled water), whether accidental or deliberate. Using a total food chain approach, recommendations will developed to control any risk through integration of novel genomic and metabolimic data resulting in a better understanding of the physiology of the...

Exploratory study on the evaluation of the relationship betweenemissions from printers and copy machines in offices and health complaints (Project)
Measurements of emissions are performed in offices of male and female office workers with health complaints self-attríbuted to emissions from printers and copy machines. Measurements are carried out during the night when the machines were in off position and after the machines were started the next morning. Office workers who attribute health complaints with the exposure towards emissions from...

SFB 564: D2.1 - Efficiency of smallholder animal husbandry depending on intensity of management and genetic potential of livestock in mountainous regions of Northern Vietnam (Project)
In the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam, high land pressure hampers the expansion of agricultural production. Smallholder farmers seek to improve their livelihood by integrating and extending livestock husbandry. In the more densely populated mountain valleys, land resources per household are extremely scarce and pig production at a relatively intensive level is the principal livestock...

SFB 564: D2.2 - Efficiency of smallholder animal husbandry depending on intensity of management and genetic potential of livestock in mountainous regions of Northern Vietnam, development of community driven breeding programmes using genotypes with high productive adaptability (Project)
During the first project phase a comprehensive analysis of smallholder livestock production systems with a special focus on pig production has been carried out. In a juxtaposition of the smallholder pig production system of “demand driven” (close to town) and “resource driven” (farer from town), different production intensity levels have been described and resource limitations have been...

SFB 564: D1.2 - Reducing alternation and production of off-season fruits in Lychee, Longan and Mango (Project)
The aim and vision of sub-project D1.2 was and is to encourage hillside farmers to plant erosion resistant fruit trees instead of erosion susceptible annual plants. For that reason, experiments to overcome the irregular bearing behaviour of the three most common fruit tree species in Northern Thailand (Litchi, Longan and Mango) from the first SFB period will be continued in order to make their...

SFB 564: D4.1 - Livestock parasites and parasitic zoonoses in smallholder farming systems of Northern Vietnam (Project)
80% of the Vietnamese population inhabits rural areas, which are dominated by agriculture. After rice production, animal husbandry is the 2nd most important agricultural activity. In the mountainous area of northwestern Vietnam, livestock production is mainly done in smallholder farms, with each farmer keeping small numbers of a variety of species including pigs, cattle, buffaloes, goats and...

SFB 564: D3.1 - Micro-economic and regional assessment of sustainability of mountain farming systems in Northern Thailand and Northern Vietnam (Project)
High and increasing population pressure in the mountainous regions of northern Thailand and Vietnam has resulted in land use practices that induce heavy soil erosion and degradation of soil and water resources. These land use practices are part of a complex farming system where some long-established ethnic groups, like the Black Thai in Vietnam and the Karen in Thailand, combine irrigated rice...

SFB 564: F3.2 - Development intervention, state administration and local society: conditions for political participation in the highlands of Northern Thailand and Northern Vietnam (Project)
During the first phase the focus of the F 3 research project has been on the interface between local institutions and foreign-sponsored development assistance programs. One major finding was that local groups (local villagers, development workers and agencies, NGO) had different interests in their involvement to set up or facilitate hill-tribe networks, defining the agendas, establishing...
