Effect of different types of soil conditioners (plant-derived composts and animal manure) and application methods on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of tomatoes and selected soil parameters
(2018)
World population prospect has increased the need for food production, therefore ensuring the sustainable production of food has been of interest to researchers of agricultural sciences, as well as politicians, due to high demands by consumers in various countries in the world.
In this dissertation, we have investigated the effect of different types of composts, from residual biomass (household compost (HC), Spent mushroom compost (SMC) and Vermicompost (VC)), on different characteristics of plant and soil in organic ...

Untersuchung der Eignung alternativer Putenherkünfte für ein ökologisches Haltungssystem
(2019-03)
Dissertation Anna Olschewsky 2019: Untersuchung der Eignung alternativer Putenherkünfte für ein ökologisches Haltungssystem
Obwohl der Anteil ökologischer Putenhaltung in Deutschland mit weniger als 2 % vergleichsweise gering ist, erfährt die Branche insbesondere wegen des Einsatzes schnell wachsender konventioneller Linien und teilweise hohen Prävalenzen verschiedener leistungs- und hal-tungsbedingter Krankheiten Aufmerksamkeit. Zum Umfang dieser Probleme bei alternativen langsamer wachsenden Putenherkünften ...

Financial Access and Food Productivity Nexus: Evidence from Pakistan
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2018-12-26)
Food possesses a great importance in the lives of human beings as it provides energy and strength to the human body to think, grow and develop. The global population is increasing day by day, becoming even more difficult to manage food for every human being on earth. It is the responsibility of every state to provide food for its citizens. “Zero Hunger” is one of the major goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs’) which aims to eradicate hunger from world. Several causes of food insecurity are identified by ...

Development of Maize Post-harvest Loss Reduction Mechanism Owing to Mycotoxin-producing Fungi Contamination Along Agro-ecology and Supply Chain in Southwestern Ethiopia
(2018)
Kurzfassung In vielen ländlichen Gebieten Äthiopiens ist Mais mit seinem hohen Kalorienwert das vorherrschende Grundnahrungsmittel und zudem für die Landwirte eine wichtige Einkommensquelle. Hohe Nachernteverluste sind jedoch ein landesweites Problem, allerdings gibt es hierzu kaum belastbare Daten, die die Ausarbeitung einer Reduzierungsstrategie erlauben würden. Insbesondere gilt das für die Verluste durch Pilzbefall und die daraus folgende Mykotoxinbelastung, wie dies häufig in den heißen und feuchten Klimabereichen ...

Determinants of participation in rural non-farm economy in Zvimba District, Zimbabwe
(2019-11-06)
The capacity of agriculture to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities is exceeded by the rural populations of developing countries, and with limited opportunities available in urban centres, the rural non-farm economy (RNFE) becomes pivotal in improving rural livelihoods. Within an empowerment agenda, it is important for policy makers to understand why households enter into the RNFE. We investigated participation in the RNFE of farm worker livelihoods along with the motivation for participation in RNF employment. ...

The ‘forma specialis’ issue in Fusarium: A case study in Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi
(2018-01-19)
The Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) has been studied intensively but its association with legumes, particularly under European agro-climatic conditions, is still poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated phylogenetic relationships and aggressiveness of 79 isolates of the FSSC collected from pea, subterranean clover, white clover and winter vetch grown under diverse agro-climatic and soil conditions within Temperate and Mediterranean Europe. The isolates were characterized by sequencing tef1 and ...

Determinants of resource use and use efficiency in urban and peri-urban dairy, beef cattle and pig production units in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (West Africa)
(2019)
The (peri-) urban demand for food of animal origin is increasing in sub-Saharan Africa as a result of the rapidly growing population and urbanisation. Livestock production in the vicinity of West African cities is well established but currently undergoes changes triggered by key transforming factors such as access to resources, production management related to famers' knowledge or know-how, increasing demand for livestock and/or animal products, policies and the legal framework in which livestock production systems ...

Untersuchung und Darstellung der Qualitätsveränderung von Agrarprodukten während der Trocknung
(2018)
Das Ziel der Arbeit war es optimale Trocknungsprozesse für verschiedene Agrarprodukte zu finden. Dazu wurden die Qualitätskriterien frischer und getrockneter Agrarprodukte analysiert und die Veränderungen durch die unterschiedlichen Trocknungsparameter, wie Luftgeschwindigkeit, Taupunkttemperatur, Trocknungstemperatur und –zeit dargestellt. In einer Literaturrecherche wurden sowohl die Faktoren für die Nachernteverluste und deren Höhe in Industrie- sowie Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländer untersucht. Zudem sind die ...
