Assessment of different innovative packaging strategies to maintain the quality of fresh produce
(2023-12-12)
The objective of this thesis was to assess the influence of different innovative packaging strategies on typical quality parameters of fresh produce and thus to keep and even improve the resource efficiency in food supply ...
Mapping and Interpolation of Tropospheric Ozone Data with Machine Learning Methods
(2023-12-14)
Tropospheric ozone is a toxic trace gas in the atmosphere. It threatens human health, damages crops and vegetation, and it is a short-lived climate forcer. Ozone is a secondary air pollutant that undergoes multiple physical ...
Measuring and scaling environmentally induced dynamics of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from the ground to the aircraft
(2023-11-11)
Chlorophyll fluorescence is the absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) re-emitted as a faint red glow when the photosynthetic apparatus is not able to run photochemistry. This relation that Chlorophyll fluorescence ...
The impact of automated, constant incomplete milking on energy balance, udder health, and subsequent performance in early lactation of dairy cows
(2023-12-14)
During the first weeks of lactation, dairy cows experience a negative energy balance (NEB), because the energy supply provided by feed intake can not cover the energy needed for maintenance and rising milk production at ...
Strategies for the Empirical Determination of the Stochastic Properties of Terrestrial Laser Scans
(2023-06-28)
Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are suitable for the surface approximation of objects and their geometric changes due to the temporally and spatially high-frequent data acquisition. However, precise geodetic engineering ...
Technology adoption and upscaling of detailed farm-level models
(2023-03-06)
Adoption of digital farming technology can be an important driver for agricultural productivity enhancement and transformation towards a sustainable farming system. Thus, understanding farmers’ technology adoption decisions ...
Understanding food technology evaluation across supply chain actors: A methodological and empirical analysis
(2019-10-12)
World development trends such as increasing world population, climate change, urbanization, malnutrition, food waste and losses as well as resource scarcity are challenging the global food system. To address these challenges, ...
The role of production method and country-of-origin labelling in consumers' food choice: Empirical study based on meta-analyses and stated preference choice experiments
(2019-10-24)
Organic production and domestic origin of food serve for consumers as extrinsic cues for food safety and food quality dimensions. With consumers' growing interest in food quality and their increasing concern regarding food ...
Nutrient elements in micro- to nanosized fractions: occurrence, transport, and plant uptake in agroecosystems
(2023-04-04)
As phosphorus (P) is a non-substitutable nutrient for all organisms and thus pivotal in supporting crop productivity, limited and unevenly distributed phosphate rocks drive research concerns on substituted P fertilizers ...
Root growth of sole and mixed cover crops in organic farming
(2024-01-23)
Cover crops are an important tool in arable farming systems. They provide many different agroecosystem services. For many of these functions, such as nutrient uptake, erosion prevention and soil structure formation, the ...
