Für die Qualität und die Lebensmittelsicherheit für Speisefische und Fischerzeugnisse sind Daten zur Toxinbildung nötig. Die Frage ist, wie lassen sich Auswirkungen von Cyanotoxinen in Fischen minimieren?

Regional plant-based by-products such as pomace, spent grain and oil press cake are being turned into new foods. Among other things, fermentation is used in this process.

LeHydrAl aims to recycle unused protein-rich waste from leather production. The protein component of leather-containing product waste is a source of organically bound nitrogen. This can be used as a nutrient for microalgae.

German and Polish partners want to tackle the challenge of sustainable waste recycling in industry. The aim of the project is to develop solutions for the efficient use of waste materials, thereby reducing environmental impact.

A network of Living Labs across Europe will facilitate the introduction of agroecological practices for soil health, biodiversity and natural pest and disease control.

The main aim of the rye rice project is to create an economically successful value-added network that includes the production of two rye products - risotto rice and long grain rice - as well as a gluten-free alternative, presumably based on oats.

Wine is also grown in Brandenburg. The Vitis BB project aims to establish a climate-tolerant and modern range of grape varieties in Brandenburg.

In this project, the ILU is endeavouring to develop feed supplements based on algae biomass. This can reduce methane emissions, increase feed intake and improve the health of ruminants.

In the AppleCoal project, biochar is to be enriched with compost and incorporated into the soil of orchards. The aim is to improve the soil in terms of water storage capacity, microbial diversity and nutrient availability. A solution for fruit growing in Brandenburg.

The project aims to restart millet cultivation in Brandenburg. The cultivation methods for the drought-tolerant and undemanding millet are to be researched and optimised. Because millet can be an answer to climate change.

The aim of the VitalCoat project is to develop waxes and wax mixtures that are applied to the bark of trees infested with harmful fungi. In particular, they are intended to support healing. In addition, seeds are to be coated with the waxes. The waxes are also obtained from native plants.

Sandy soils dominate in Brandenburg. Added to this are the consequences of climate change. Farmers are adapting to this and are increasingly cultivating crops that can cope with these conditions. So far, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) has hardly been cultivated. Researchers at the ILU want to change this. This is because the pseudo-cereal is rich in carbohydrates and proteins as well as minerals and vitamins.
