  • International Grassland Congress 2027

    13.06.2027, 10:00 Uhr - 18.06.2027, 18:00 Uhr

    Category: Conference/symposium

    In 2027, ZALF, JKI and TI will host the XXVI International Grassland Congress in Leipzig. The theme of IGC 2027 will be "100 years of grassland research – ways to the future".

    The congress will present diverse aspects of natural grasslands and those managed at varying intensities, including the cultivation and use of other forage crops. Sustainable development of on-farm food production will be discussed, as well as the benefits of grassland management for society as a whole, especially for the environment and the preservation of biodiversity.

    The IGC has given scientists, students and representatives from industry, extension services and farms the opportunity to exchange the latest research findings and experiences on grassland every three to five years at different locations around the world. In 2027, the congress will celebrate its 100th anniversary in Leipzig.

    Category: Fair/exhibition

    This year, the DAKIS project will be represented together with two other consortia of the "Agricultural Systems of the Future" and the central coordination office at the AgriTechnica in Hanover from 12th to 18th November in Hall 24; Stand A21. 

    In addition to the MultiTouch table and short films, with the help of which visitors can gain a systematic overview of the "Agricultural Systems of the Future", the DAKIS spin-off EROSPOT will be the main focus of the exhibition. Monitors will demonstrate to visitors how to create high-resolution erosion maps accurate to the metre. In addition, a dashboard with sensor data and drone images will give an impression of the highly sensitive and networked recording of ecosystem services in the field. The digital exhibition formats are complemented by haptic exhibits such as the eBee drone.

    A highlight of the presence is the participation in the AGRITECHNICA 2023 technical programme with a panel discussion on the topic of "Agricultural systems of the future" - Innovative visions in area-based systems on 17th November from 12:00 to 12:50h in the Campus&Career area.

  • SIDE EVENT SESSION AT THE FAO SCIENCE AND INNOVATION FORUM 2022: Integrating sustainable and inclusive energy technologies into agrifoodsystems in East Africa

    13.10.2022, 11:00 Uhr - 13.10.2022, 12:30 Uhr

    Category: Other

    Access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy is vital for production, post-harvest management and cooking of food. While the need for transforming agrifood systems is certain, the debate on how this transformation should take place has not yet resulted in definitive conclusions and strategies. This side-event will address the current advances and opportunities for a more efficient, inclusive and sustainable energy consumption in agrifood systems. The speakers will highlight the role of renewable energy technologies on transforming agrifood systems as well as the current knowledge on best practices and approaches to drive a more inclusive and gendered innovation development.

  • ZALF - Guest Lecture -Prof. Dr. Jörg Overmann, Leibniz Institute DSMZ

    14.04.2021, 11:00 Uhr - 14.04.2021, 13:00 Uhr

    Category: Guest lecture

    Bacterial diversity and its role in soil ecosystems

    Prof. Jörg Overmann
    Scientific Director of the Leibniz Institute DSMZ - German Culture Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, Braunschweig

    Short abstract: Culture-independent studies have revealed that just 1 gram of soil may contain about 50,000 different bacterial species, representing the most diverse microbial communities on Earth. Estimates of the global bacterial diversity even exceed 1 billion species. By comparison, the number of bacterial species that are described and hence available for detailed physiological and biochemical characterization amounts to just 17,000. Microbes are the major drivers of biogeochemical transformations, hence their diversity, functions and interactions need to be resolved in order to arrive at a causal understanding of the soil ecosystem. This has now become possible with the advent of modern molecular, bioinformatics, and cultivation-based approaches.

  • International Workshop: Scenarios for legume protein in European agricultural systems

    01.10.2020, 08:30 Uhr - 02.10.2020, 15:30 Uhr

    Category: Workshop

    Diversification with grain legumes could reduce fertilizer and pesticide use and increase domestic plant protein production and consumption in Europe. Besides, legumes could improve the resilience of European farming systems to the socio-economic and climatic variability, enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services, and contribute to novel food systems.

    The workshop aims to develop a set of novel future scenarios for better-utilizing grain legumes with a focus on food systems in Europe by addressing the following questions:

    • What impact do change consumption patterns have on grain legume production?
    • How does climate change affect future protein supply?
    • How does global protein demand change resulting from continuous population growth?

    Based on the developed scenarios a scientific publication will be developed and all participants are invited to contribute.

  • PhD Day 2020

    10.09.2020, 09:30 Uhr - 10.09.2020, 18:00 Uhr

    Category: PHD-Day

    Join us during PhD Day 2020 on September 10th 2020!

    In its general research strategy, ZALF aims to answer a very important question: “How do we feed a growing world population without harming the climate, the environment and natural resources?”

    Yet, are the many PhD projects supervised at ZALF in line with this goal? What are current research gaps? And are there research topics not sufficiently represented in the strategy?

    We want to take this year’s PhD Day as an opportunity to reflect these questions.

    We will be happy to meet you there!

    In order to ensure the corona hygiene measures, PhD Day takes place exclusively virtually. If you are interested in participating, we kindly ask ZALF-external persons to pre-register at ecr-coord@zalf.de
