Creation of a database with purity and quality parameters of vegetable edible oils/fats for authen-ticity testing (Project)

Vegetable edible oils, especially olive oils, are among the top 10 most counterfeited foods. Typical methods of adulteration aim to reduce production costs and maximize profit while deceiving consumers about the actual quality and origin of the edible oils. One way to detect adulterations is by uncovering deviations in the chemical composition (e. g., fatty acid composition) compared to typical...

Strategies for more efficient oat breeding for organic farming (Project)

Organic oat production has seen significant growth throughout Germany in recent years, driven by increasing demands for regionally and organically grown oat. As an increasing portion of the oat crop is processed into oat drinks, oat production contributes to greenhouse gas reduction via cow's milk substitution. Better varieties and more effective oat breeding are needed to meet future demand. In...

Diagnosis and epidemiology of viruses infecting cereal crops (Project)

Emerging virus infections in agriculture are determined by climatic conditions, host biodiversity and the occurrence of vectors. The aim of the current Euphresco project is to develop an international research network on the diagnosis and epidemiology of viruses infecting cereal crops to understand the current state of occurrence of cereal viruses and their vectors and reservoirs.

Metabolites of potato, wild potato and breeding lines and their relevance in resistance against pest insects (Project)

Potatoes are an important source of food and raw materials. However, the infestation pressure from insect pests is very high and can lead to harvest and yield losses of up to 80%. In view of climate change, this infestation pressure will become even more severe. On the other hand, there is a need to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and legislation of pesticides will be limited. There is...

Agriculture using AI; sub-project: Multiscale and multisensory information retrieval from remote sensing data (NaLamKI) (Project)

The NaLamKI project is creating a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) platform with open interfaces for providers from the upstream and downstream sectors of agriculture, industry and for service providers of special applications in crop production. By aggregating sensor and machine data obtained by means of remote sensing (satellites, drones), soil sensors, robotics, manual data collection...

Increasing protein use efficiency in bread wheat with innovative breeding research on the MAGIC-WHEAT population WM-800 for effective climate change mitigation in the cereal value chain (Project)

The overall project objective is to use innovative plant breeding methods to advance the development of winter wheat varieties that exhibit improved protein use efficiency (ProtUE) and high baking quality in organic and conventional crop production systems. The project contributes to more resource efficiency in terms of N fertilisation and processing suitability of bread wheat and thus opens up...

Social dimension of climate-friendly nutrition (Project)

Nutrition is an important lever for climate protection and mitigation of climate change. In order to contribute to climate protection and justice, diets have to be ecologically and socially sustainable. While the state of knowledge in the ecological dimension is steadily improving and environmental impacts are to a large extent well measurable, the social dimension of nutrition has been...

Boosting benefical arthropods in nature protected areas to strengthen biological control (Project)

The pilot study will be carried out in a landscape of the Rhine-Neckar region. Several arable fields (e.g. cereals) in the protected area and comparatively on similar arable fields outside the protected landscape configuration will be selected. In addition, areas in the protected area will be chosen that are already undergoing ecological improvement, e.g. through field margins, herbaceous borders...
