Ultrasound treatment (low frequency) effects on probiotic bacteria growth in fermented milk
(Section Specialized Partnerships in Sustainable Food Systems and Food Sovereignty at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2019-09-04)
The effect of ultrasonic treatment at 40 kHz for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes on the growth of five different strains of probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5, Lactobacillus casei LC, Lactobacillus reuteri LR-MM53, Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb-12 and Bifidobacterium loungm BB-536) in fermented milk was investigated. The study findings indicate that ultrasound treatment (10 minutes) increased the viable cells and total acidity for LA-5, LC and LR-MM53 samples but decreased viable cells and total acidity in ...

Roots of symptom-free leguminous cover crop and living mulch species harbor diverse Fusarium communities that show highly variable aggressiveness on pea (Pisum sativum)
(2018-02-14)
Leguminous cover crop and living mulch species show not only great potential for providing multiple beneficial services to agro-ecosystems, but may also present pathological risks for other crops in rotations through shared pathogens, especially those of the genus Fusarium. Disease severity on roots of subterranean clover, white clover, winter and summer vetch grown as cover crop and living mulch species across five European sites as well as the frequency, distribution and aggressiveness to pea of Fusarium spp. ...

Open field screening of the productive parameters, protein content, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity of maize (Zea mays L.) in the marginal uplands of southern Madagascar
(2019-10-14)
Madagascar is recognised as having both a high level of poverty and a food shortage. The contribution of the agricultural sector to the national income is higher than for any other sector, though this sector remains insufficiently developed to sustain national food demand. In order to increase food production, the diversification of staple food in conjunction with the detection of best-yield genotypes may be considered the simplest and least expensive alternative approach. For this reason, the response of productive ...

Vereinbarkeit von muttergebundener Kälberaufzucht und automatischen Melksystemen
(2019-12)
Muttergebundene Kälberaufzucht stößt sowohl in der Öffentlichkeit als auch bei milchviehhaltenden (Öko-)Betrieben auf zunehmenden Zuspruch. Gleichzeitig steigt die Zahl der installierten AMS auf den Milchviehbetrieben. Diese Entwicklungen weisen darauf hin, dass in Zukunft mehr Betriebe die muttergebundene Kälberaufzucht mit den AMS kombinieren werden. Bei der Kombination besteht die Herausforderung darin, den Kühen das individuelle Melken im AMS zu gewähren und gleichzeitig die Kälber an diesen Kühen aufzuziehen. ...

Sustainable diets: Studies on German consumers’ intention-behavior gap
(2020-01)
Globally our practiced food systems are causing great harm to our environment including contributions to biodiversity loss, soil degradation, water pollution, and climate change, as well as to human health. Sustainable diets are crucial for solving those global diet-related problems because they are credited with a key role in the transformation of our currently practiced food systems into more sustainable ones. Increasing the practice of sustainable diets can be a starting point for initiating the needed change. ...

Challenges to ecosystem services of sustainable agriculture in West Africa
(2020)
Food security is still sub-optimal in many parts of West Africa calling for more efficient agricultural practices in mitigating food insecurity. Some of the problems faced in West African agricultural systems are bottlenecks in ruminant livestock supply, inefficiency in commercial poultry production, and loss of arthropod diversity. These issues require proper integration of farming systems, demand the closing of nutrient cycles, need diversi cation of production, and require enhancement of ecosystem services. To ...

Die Agrarökologische Bewegung in Deutschland
(2020)
Diese vorliegende Arbeit soll zum einen hervorheben, wie sich die Agrarökologiebewegung in Deutschland zusammensetzt, wer dieser Bewegung angehört, wie sie organisiert ist, wie die Bewegung zu erkennen ist und was ihre Forderungen sind.
Danach soll herausgefunden werden, ob die Bedingungen für ein kollektives Handeln erfüllt werden können, um eine Agrarökologiebewegung sichtbar werden zu lassen.
