Leibniz-ScienceCampus Halle - Eastern Europe – Global Area (EEGA) (Network)
The Leibniz ScienceCampus „Eastern Europe – Global Area“ (EEGA) is an overall integrative platform and collaborative research network that focuses on the development of new research perspectives on Eastern Europe’s changing role in current and historical processes of globalization. The aim of the EEGA is to break down regionally compartmentalised approaches and to promote an informed...

Evaluate and effectively utilize climate protection potentials of agroforestry (KlimAF) TP3 JKI_SF (Project)
Agroforestry systems and hedgerows can greatly contribute to mitigating GHG emissions in agriculture, as tree strips and hedgerows can store carbon in their biomass and increase soil organic. In addition, these systems improve microclimate, reduce wind erosion as well as nutrient leaching, and connect habitats within the agricultural landscapes. To effectively utilize these potentials, we must...

Data-driven and genome-edited breeding of locally adapted wheat varieties to enhance agricultural biodiversity, sustainable climate resilience, and resource efficiency (Project)
The DRIVE project is developing a globally unique data trust platform for breeding. Wheat serves as a model. Curated big data will be analysed to select contrasting genotypes and environments for their genotype-environment interactions. The data trust platform will be populated with extensive curated and machine-readable genomic, phenotypic and environmental data from 7 breeding programs. The...

Optimization of husbandry and feeding in organic sow husbandry to improve piglet health - Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (Project)
The aim of the project is to improve the health of suckling and rearing piglets under organic husbandry conditions by adapting housing and feeding and to demonstrate ways of reducing piglet mortality. In addition to adapted housing and feeding, the influence of feeding on the microbial population in the piglets' intestines will be evaluated. For this purpose, microbiome examinations and...

Free run design in organic fattening pig husbandry - usage, elimination behaviour and animal health (Project)
A key component in organic fattening pig husbandry is access to an outdoor run, which offers the animals the opportunity to perform natural behaviours and create different functional areas. As part of the project 'Free run design in organic fattening pig husbandry - usage, elimination behaviour and animal health - AuMaNET', the use of outdoor runs and the elimination behaviour of fattening pigs...

Healthy (organic) pigs in Germany - Bioland Beratung GmbH (Project)
The project 'Healthy (organic) pigs in Germany' (GeSchwInD) aims to further develop organic pig farming in Germany. As part of the project, health problems in organic pig herds are to be addressed. In addition to the examination of pigs, the focus of the activities is particularly on humans and their influence on animal health. In a process moderated by the advisory service, the exchange of...

IDENTIFICATION OF RISK FACTORS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF BIOINDICATORS FOR PIGLET MORTALITY UNDER ORGANIC HUSBANDRY CONDITIONS IN DIFFERENT PIG GENOTYPES (Project)
In BioFeSt, approaches for reducing piglet losses in organic farms are being developed by analyzing relationships between biomarkers for allostatic load, i.e. the cumulative effects of chronic stress on piglet mortality, and identifying risk factors. To this end, biomarkers (cortisol, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, creatinine and glucose) are...

Strategies for the development of a breeding program under organic conditions for conventional pig breeding lines - Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen (Project)
Over the last 20 years, the demand for organically produced food in Germany has risen continuously. In pig farming, the proportion of organically reared animals is comparatively low. In addition to personal conviction, economic motives are the main factor motivating pig producers to transform their farms to an organic production. In addition to other factors (e.g. husbandry techniques), the...

Rapeseed for organic farming - use of evolutionary selection for adaptation to improve resource efficiency and climate resilience - Universität Bonn (Project)
Rapeseed provides multi-purpose edible oil and protein with high nutritional quality and is a very important energy crop in the current mix of renewable resources. In addition to a high oil content of up to 45%, rapeseed also has a high protein content (up to 25%, similar to chickpea), and is expected to play an increasingly important role in protein supply and food security in the future. By...
