Think tank for rural areas (Project)

Innovative ideas in rural areas are usually the result of committed and well-connected farmers. Implementation often fails due to a lack of know-how or time on the part of the idea provider. The aim of this project is to train farmers as project managers within the framework of a ´rural think tank´ to support the implementation of innovative ideas.  They will provide advice on technical and...

Digital vegetable garden (Project)

In recent years, innovative, small market garden centres have grown rapidly. These farms are characterised by resource-conserving cultivation and direct marketing to local consumers. Such methods promote sustainability and strengthen regional value creation. The ´Digitaler Gemüseacker´ project aims to make market gardens more effective and efficient through digitalisation. To this end, software...

Fertilizer Production through Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) of Sewage Sludge (Project)

Many farmers rely on mineral fertilizers, the prices of which have recently tripled. This development has significant negative impacts on value creation in arable farming. Phosphate is primarily obtained through mining outside of Europe, imported into Germany, and used as fertilizer among other applications. In some regions, this leads to over-fertilization and environmental damage. At the same...

Development of a web application for the risk assessment of the worm load of free-range laying hens (Project)

In Germany, many laying hens are kept in alternative forms of husbandry with free-range access. Worm eggs accumulate in the run because there are only limited biosecurity measures for prevention and treatment. An infestation with worms (so-called gastrointestinal helminths) can lead to health impairments and even the death of the laying hens. In the 'WURM-Frei' project, conclusions are to be...

Development of strategies and concepts for future-oriented 'Streuobstanbau´ adapted to climate change (Project)

The effects of climate change have so far only been examined to a limited extent in commercial fruit growing. Challenges such as the shift in full bloom from early May to mid-April and the resulting increased risk of late frosts, long periods of drought, torrential rain, strong solar radiation (UVB radiation) and frequent hail events are in the foreground. Studies on the occurrence of new...

Production and marketing of pear juice from meadow orchard (Project)

The survival of meadow orchards is threatened by increasing periods of heat and drought as a result of climate change. In contrast to the apple, the pear is much better adapted to this and could contribute to the preservation of these areas. However, large-scale utilisation of meadow orchard pears for juice production is currently not possible, as pears are sensitive to pressure and spoil...

Air seeding - sowing catch crops and undersown crops by drone (Project)

Agriculture is directly affected by the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures, periods of drought and extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall require innovative cultivation methods in order to continue to secure yields and soil fertility in the long term. This is where the ?Flugsaat? project comes in, which is trialling the use of drones for sowing catch crops and undersown crops....

Studies for the determination of the geographic origin of honey from Eastern Europe (Project)

According to European food law, no foreign substances may be added to honey as a natural foodstuff. In addition, according to Council Directive 2001/110/EC the country or countries of origin where the honey has been harvested shall be indicated on the label. Labelling details, given in article 2 clause 4a will change in 2024 due to revisions of the directive. In the future, the countries of...
