Work program and project structure
In order to investigate the effects of the new cultivation systems, the yield and quality of the plants as well as the underlying mechanisms are analyzed on a physiological and (micro-)biological level. Using coupled eco-hydrological and agro-ecosystem modeling, the results are scaled up to Hesse and climate effects on the various crops are estimated on a site-specific basis. The expected ecosystem services will be valorized through true-cost accounting, including on the basis of the involvement of various stakeholders such as farmers and consumers. Through the collaboration of scientists from a wide range of disciplines and close networking with associated partners, the results flow directly into agricultural practice and advice. By integrating ecological processes and promoting diversity and resilience, LOEWE-TRIO contributes to overcoming the challenges of climate change in agriculture while maintaining the health of soil, plants, animals and humans.
