The National Research Strategy BioEconomy 2030 is a component of the High-Tech Strategy of the Federal Government and provides vital impetus for the demand areas energy/climate and health/ nutrition, among others. With the National Research Strategy BioEcon-omy 2030, the Federal Government is establishing the conditions for the vision of a sustainable bio-based economy by 2030. This carries the promise of global food supplies that are both sufficient and healthy, and of high quality products from renew-able raw materials.
Field of research:
Global food security
Sub-fields of research:
Breeding of agricultural crops, among others using modern methods of plant biotechnology
Requirements and problems of developing countries
Suitable phenotyping technologies based on scientific concepts for the investigation of environmental influences on plant traits
Sustainable gains in efficiency and productivity, especially reduction of post-harvest losses
Breeding of healthy, adaptable and high-performance animals. Here, feed efficiency, stress tolerance, as well as reduced greenhouse gas- and air pollutant emissions must also be taken into consid-eration
Development of regionally adapted climate prediction models, as well as investigations into the interaction between the climate and biosphere
Agricultural biodiversity in agricultural organisms and close wild relatives
Field of research:
Sustainable agricultural production
Sub-fields of research:
Social-, economic-, policy- and planning research to strengthen institutions in rural areas
Protection of climate, nature, soil, water, air and important nutrients
Sustainable land management
Organic and environmentally friendly farming
Optimisation of the sustainability effects of agricultural produc-tion systems, and the efficient use of resources on national and international scales
M ethods for the quantification of biological diversity with regard to related ecosystem services, and towards the development of future-oriented biodiversity management on a national and internation-al level
Integration of agricultural crops with novel characteristics and cultivation techniques
Integrated pest management techniques
Agricultural technology along the entire agricultural value chain
Biological safety research and co-existence research
Breeding, feeding, housing, and into the health of livestock (including bees) and fish
Sustainable soil usage
Field of research:
Healthy and safe food
Sub-fields of research:
Development of health-promoting foods
Inter-relationships between environmental conditions and production techniques in animals and plants
Gentle and conserving methods for organic and conventional food processing
Development of appropriate measures for prevention, control and treatment, among other things through studies into causes, spread and disease processes
Analytics, and monitoring- and prevention measures, including quality and risk management systems
Development of sustainable and quality-retaining food technologies
Technical and organisational innovations for the optimisation of processes along the food production chain
Certification systems for social and ecological standards
Field of research:
Industrial use of renewable resources
Sub-fields of research:
Plant raw materials, in particular those not used as animal/human nutrition, can already be optimised in development, e.g. through plant selection, cultivation and breeding
Use of biomass from different sources in zero-waste biorefineries
Identifying new bioactive substances as basic chemicals and as end- or precursors products, e.g. for pharmaceuticals, food additives, detergents and cleaning agents, tex-tiles, cosmetics
Contribution made by energetic- and material utilisation of renewable raw materials in efforts to reduce CO2
Field of research:
Biomass-based energy sources
Sub-fields of research:
Improvements in the breeding, cultivation, harvesting and processing of plant biomass (including algae), above all those not used in animal/human nutrition
Efficient conversion processes for biomass, including the identification, analysis and development of systems for the coupling of these procedures
Optimasation of the process chain, including cultivation, processing, and process and manufacturing technologies with regard to efficiency and sustainability criteria
Establishment of sustainability standards and certification sys-tems, as well as concepts for the parallel development of markets for food and feeds, and for biomass for energy and material use
Demonstration of the technical and economic feasibility of bioenergy plants
Energetic use of agricultural and forestry residues and waste materials
Innovative concepts for the efficient and environmentally compatible supply of renewable raw materials for different plant sizes and conversion procedures
Technologies suited to storage, and to approaches for compensation of fluctuations in bioenergy power feeds, as well as to the optimisation of applied heat-power cogeneration concepts
