Ideas sought for the use of biogenic resources
The Joachim Herz Stiftung is supporting three research teams with its new innovate! Fund with up to 1 million euros each. They are looking for innovative approaches that make biogenic resources usable.
Artificial metabolic pathway sets new standards
For the first time, an international research team has been able to optimize synthetic carbon fixation to such an extent that it works more efficiently than natural metabolic pathways.
Faecal matter as fertilizer in agriculture
Berlin researchers provide the data basis for including human excreta in the list of permitted source materials in the Fertilizer Ordinance.
Automated and selective plant protection
A Bavarian scientific team has researched how plant protection products can be applied selectively and automatically using drones and artificial intelligence. The challenges and results have now been published.
Optimising bio-based food packaging
The Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging has developed and trialled a new bio-based, recyclable packaging film for food in collaboration with the Albstadt-Sigmaringen University of Applied Sciences.
