WASCAL (West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use). Work Package 6.2 Agent-based models for integrated assessment (Project)

The overall aim of WASCAL is to identify resilient and adaptive/adapted land-use systems and how these can be fostered. We substantiated this aim through the proposed work package by the sub-goal to identify resilient long-term land-use strategies of land users. As resilience is largely determined by the dynamics and feedbacks within and between the social, the economic and the environmental...

Collaborative Project: Development of innovative process integrated microbiological stage control systems for the reduction of Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in meat production - Subproject 2 (Project)

The commercial success of meat and meat products in national and international markets depends on the production of healthy foods under proper hygiene conditions. Therefore, the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV) initiated a program to promote innovations for the enhancement of meat quality. One task of this program addresses the reduction of Salmonella and...

Collaborative project: Framework to provide information to consumers at the point of sale concerning shelflife and product properties for fruit an vegetable using the example kiwifruit - subproject 2 (Project)

Consumers are worried about the circumstances under which fruit and vegetable have been produced. The aim of this project is therefore to develop a system which gathers data along the supply chain of kiwifruit production and provides this data to the consumer, who can use it to take his decision whether to buy or not at the point of sale. In detail the following information will be given to the...

Collaborative project: ZellDiX – A new cell differentiation index to assess udder health within the milk recording scheme, Subproject 2 (Project)

Currently, within the scope of the milk recording scheme the udder health of dairy cows is described by the somatic cell count in milk. A rise of the somatic cell count and the exceedance of a critical level indicate an inflammatory process in the udder. The somatic cell count comprises different cell types, mainly the cow’s own immune cells. The proportion of these different types of immune...

Benefits of legume nurse crop in pea seeds: weed suppression, symbiotic N2 fixation and N preceding crop effect in systems of differentiated primary tillage (Project)

Several potential benefits for building soil fertility are provided by the growing of pulses. The most prominent are their ability for biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and their value in designing sustainable crop rotations. Loose-soil husbandry (LSH) and no-plough firm-soil mulch husbandry (FSMH) enhance soil fertility based on erosion control and soil organic matter accumulation. The...
