Innovative plant protection strategies to reduce the use of resources for sustainable fruit production in the face of climate change (Project)
Climate change and the transition of apple cultivation in Baden-Württemberg to modern production systems, affect the spread of relevant pathogens and pests. This must be studied at an early stage, to adapt accordingly to the new conditions. By 2030, usage of crop protection products must be reduced by 40-50 %. Innovative strategies of controlling diseases and pests will be necessary, to be able...

Innovative herd protection (Project)
In 2020, the sheep population of Lower Saxony was 180,000. That means ten percent of the German stock. Sheep play an important role in landscape conservation, for example in preserving heathlands and dikes of Lower Saxony. They are particularly at risk and were exposed to 40 percent of wolf attacks in Germany. 1,400 sheep were injured or killed. The need for protective measures in Lower Saxony is...

InsectProEco Vision insects - innovation unit in the circular economy (Project)
For several years there has been a lack of protein-rich feed, while the demand for regionally produced food of animal origin has increased. This ´protein gap´ is closed by importing soybean meal, which has been proven to have a harmful ecological and socio-economic footprint. In addition to the global effects, the serious extent of land consumption and the immense losses due to food waste also...

KibEZ - AI-based yield determination of sugar beets (Project)
Savings in fertilizing applications due to yield mapping and in transport activities due to precise information on beet mass are the leading motivation of KibEZ. Currently, precise yield mapping has not yet been possible in sugar beet cultivation. Ultrasonic sensors record the fill level of the beet tank, but these can only estimate the volume of the sugar beets. The KibEZ project tests...

Climate protection due to new sugar beet cultivation methods with focus on resource protection, biodiversity and reduction of herbicides (Project)
The cultivation of selective catch crops before sugar beet (SB) and development of innovative Processing technology (Strip-Till, chopping, cutting) should be improved the C02 balance in sugar beet cultivation. The aim is to reach high level of ground coverage until BBCH 31-39 for multiple climate benefits. The focus is on C02-sequestration and simultaneous high level of erosion protection at...

Maritime climate in poultry houses (Project)
For chickens, heat stress in the house can be lethal. Dry air is also harmful because it contains pathogens, dust and ammonia that come from litter, feathers and droppings. The ´Maritime air in poultry houses´ project team is developing and testing a technical solution to mitigate temperature peaks in the house and to reduce ammonia, pathogens and fine dust in the air. The innovative new...

Energizing food processing in East Africa: Analysis of the status-quo and assessment of sustainability and nutritional impacts with regard to implementing more efficient techniques and technologies in different food processing regimes (Project)
Energy insecurity is still a common phenomenon in many parts of the developing world, including Sub- Saharan Africa. This hinders economic development, but it also negatively affects food and nutrition security, as non-traditional processing and preservation techniques and technologies are often associated with improved energy input. This PhD project therefore focusses on this widely-neglected...

Thermo-chemical conversion of silica-rich biomass residues for the production of heat and power, and the combined generation of mesoporous biogenic silica for material application (Project)
The project proposal will establish a close scientific cooperation between DBFZ and Stellenbosch University in order to investigate the efficient use of silica-rich agricultural residues in South Africa for bioenergy and material applications. It focusses on the chemical pretreatment of biomass residues from food production and its combustion and gasification characteristics for combined heat and...

Reuse of pineapple residues at small farms to improve nutrient-cycling and income stability as well as to reduce agricultural GHG emissions (Project)
Agricultural production in the Philippines faces the same challenges as anywhere else in the world, namely a combination of the need to (I) maintain soil fertility, (II) reduce its climate impact, (III) secure yield stability and achieve a (IV) high resource efficiency by closing material cycles. The production of pineapples is particularly challenging in this respect. The Philippines is the...
