Academic Research

We conduct crop research with the goal of developing strategies to produce healthy food despite the challenges climate change produces, and with ecological aspects in mind. 
At the moment, we especially focus on chickpeas and how they can be introduced in Germany and on rye and other cereals, and how climate change and fertilization change their nutritional values and yields. Furthermore, our field experiments include maize, potatoes, and different kinds of legumes, and we are experts in research regarding root development and plant-soil organisms interactions.

Assistance with our research projects:

You could make a small personal experiment in the greenhouse, preferably with a little planning/contact in advance before the beginning of the stay.
