Improved contribution of local feed to support 100% organic feed supply to pigs and poultry (ICOPP) (Collaborative project)
This project is highlighted by the requirement to base the feeding of organic produced poultry and pigs on feed of 100% organic origin from the 1st January 2012. The aim is to produce economically profitable feeding strategies based on 100% organic feed across Europe, which will supply poultry and pigs the required level of nutrients in different phases of production and support high animal...

Expansion of soybean cultivation in Germany through breeding adaptation and agronomic optimization (Collaborative project)
By breeding of suitable species it shall be ensured that the high demand for high-quality soy can be met better from local production. Apart from growing trials with existing varieties and breeding lines, crossings and theire inspection are carried out in the project. Hereby the researchers shall investigate how an efficient breeding strategy for soybeans can be designed in terms of their...

Optimizing Miscanthus Biomass Production - OPTIMISC (Collaborative project)
Miscanthus is a C4 perennial rhizomatous grass that has become a leading candidate crop for production of lignocellulosic feedstocks due to its rapid biomass accumulation in temperate climates. There is currently a single commercial clone, M. x giganteus, which has a number of limitations. Research over the past 20 years has shown that a few key species and their interspecific hybrids have a high...
