Development of an integrated land management through sustainable water and nutrient matter use in Northeast Germany (ELaN) (Collaborative project)
The research project ELaN aims at coupling technological innovations for water, nutrient and carbon management together with organisational innovations for an adapted land management. This goes along with innovations of socio-economic forms of governance for the implementation and economical valuation of those combined model solutions. They include the use of purified waste water in order to...

Efficiency and dynamics. Settlement development in times of spatially and temporally disparate trends (EUDYSÉ) (Collaborative project)
The project aims to identify strategies, concepts and methods for an implementation of the vision of a resource-efficient and low-emission development of settlements on the basis of two regions and contrasting regional dynamics. Depending on the historical initial situation and resulting development trajectories promising concepts to increase resource efficiency may vary, and even indicate into...

Sustainable Land Management in the North German lowlands under changing environmental and social framework conditions (NaLaMa-nT) (Collaborative project)
Sustainable land management cannot longer be considered and developed without taking influences of global change into account. Current changes of both, markets (resources, goods and finances) and climate, are challenges, strongly influencing opportunities and risks for forestry and agriculture. Apart from that, structural changes within the regions are of great importance. They ask for adaptation...

PGR Secure: Novel characterization of crop wild relative and landrace resources as a basis for improved crop breeding (Collaborative project)
The goal of agrobiodiversity conservation, unlike other forms of conservation, is not only the conservation of species and intra-specific genetic diversity related to agriculture, but also to promote its sustainable use in facilitating agricultural production. Although significant progress has been made in the conservation and management of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA)...

GlobE - African-German partnership to enhance resource use efficiency in urban and peri-urban agriculture for improved food security in West African cities (UrbanFood-Plus) (Collaborative 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...

Whey2Food - Enhanced protein fractionation from protein sources for their use in special food applications (Collaborative project)
Whey is a by-product of the manufacture of cheese or casein and is considered a promising raw material for various commercial applications due to its high-value components (e.g. proteins) and its large availability. Around 81 million tons of liquid whey was produced by the approximately 150,000 European cheesemakers in EU-27 in 2011. However, according to the European Whey Products Association...
