European Union and African Union cooperative research to increase Food production in irrigated farming systems in Africa/ EAU4Food (EAU4Food)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2015,
EAU4Food seeks to address the need for new approaches to increase food production in irrigated areas in Africa, while ensuring healthy and resilient environments. Potential pitfalls of introducing innovations in local farming systems, like limited adoption by farmers and trade-off effects to other (environmental) systems are overcome by, respectively, i) utilizing a true transdisciplinary approach ...

Nanoparticles in Food: Analytical methods for detection and characterisation (NanoLyse)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
The NanoLyse project will focus on the development of validated methods and reference materials for the analysis of engineered nano-particles (ENP) in food and beverages. The developed methods will cover all relevant classes of ENP with reported or expected food and food contact material applications, i.e. metal, metal oxide/silicate, surface functionalised and organic encapsulate (colloidal/micel ...

Functional Diversity: An ecological framework for sustainable and adaptable agro-forestry systems in landscapes of semi-arid and arid eco-regions (FUNCiTree)
Date du début: 1 mai 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
The increasing demand of livestock products, larger climate uncertainty and resource degradation, and the rampant poverty of farmers in the semi-arid tropics calls for modernized agroforestry systems (AFS) capable of providing multiple functions. The project will develop regionally specific, trait-based and field tested AFS capable of providing critical agro-ecosystem functions in semi-arid Africa ...

Development of a unique means of detecting and proving illegal administration of recombinant somatotropin in dairy cows (Unique-Check)
Date du début: 1 juin 2009, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
The ability to increase milk production in cow by bovine somatotropin (BST) was first demonstrated in 1930’s. The use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) in dairy cows has become a common practice in the Untied States (US) and many other countries as the commercial product became available in 1994. However the use and sale of rBST in the EU has never been approved and was banned in 1999 due ...

CONtaminants in Food and Feed: Inexpensive DEtectioN for Control of Exposure (CONffIDENCE)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
RASFF alerts show that monitoring of chemical contaminants in food and feed is very relevant in European food safety. Also consumers placed chemical contaminants on top of the “worry-scale” of food-related risks. According to the General Food Law, food and feed industries are responsible for the safety of their products. Often expensive instrumental single-analyte methods are being applied by regu ...
