Grain legumes have great potential for smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): They could improve the food, income, and sustainability situation in a climate-friendly way. Strategies and techniques for making better use of this potential are being developed in a collaborative project with the participation of the University of Hohenheim. The European Union is funding...more
How can we succeed in baking bread that is absolutely gluten-free and that is similar to what we are used to, both in terms of taste and texture? This question is being investigated by the collaborative project PROTAX with the participation of the University of Hohenheim. The researchers are relying on gluten-free starting materials such as oats, corn, and rice. The German...more
A new heavily funded research area at the University of Hohenheim looks at the relationship between nitrogen fertilization, protein content, and the baking properties of bread wheat. The goal here is to obtain an optimum baking result by combining the right choice of cultivars and ideal nitrogen supply, while reducing nitrogen at the same time. The German Research Foundation...more
Could a disturbance of the internal clock be responsible for the onset of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs)? This question is being investigated at the University of Hohenheim by the two research teams led by Prof. Dr. W. Florian Fricke from the Department of Microbiome and Applied Bioinformatics and Prof. Dr. Axel Lorentz from the Department of Nutritional Medicine and...more
The frugal pseudocereal quinoa is the focus of a new collaborative project at the University of Hohenheim. With suitable cultivars, smallholder farmers in Mediterranean countries could not only secure their own livelihood but also make an important contribution to societal development. As part of the PRIMA funding initiative, the German Federal Ministry of Education and...more
Three departments within the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology at the University of Hohenheim are researching a new product category among plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy products. They have received funding totaling approximately EUR 750,000 from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) for the collaborative project...more
To gain increased insight into the complex interactions in climate-stressed agricultural systems by means of state-of-the-art visualization technology – and to derive concrete recommendations for action for policy makers and society: This is the common goal of the interdisciplinary research network BioInterAct of the Universities of Hohenheim and Tübingen and the Stuttgart...more
