On Friday, 13th of May, the consortium of the InNuSense project with representatives from the Center for Rural Development (SLE) and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and colleagues from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda visited ZALF. The meeting aimed to exchange on current research activities in Africa.
Dr. Katharina Löhr presented the working group "Sustainable Land Use in Developing Countries" (SusLAND) and ongoing research activities in Sub-Saharan Africa. For more interactive exchanges, other SusLAND members presented their research focus areas such as food and nutrition security, ecosystem services and biodiversity, water-energy-food nexus, and social cohesion and governance, which were then further discussed in small groups. This was followed by an introduction to research at ZALF by Tom Baumeister, including the patchCROP project, and a visit to the ZALF experimental fields led by Dr. Moritz Reckling.
