Investigation on a sustainable and resilient urban food system in the city of cologne

By signing the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP), the local government of the city of Cologne recognizes that a more actively oriented food policy is necessary. Such a rethinking of the current global food system seems timely and innovative. On a global level, similar examples can be seen, which already show first progress. Worldwide, 133 cities have signed the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact; following the signing, food councils or similar multi-stakeholder platforms have been established in some of these cities.

Food Pro.tec.ts - Biomasse

Food Pro.tec.ts was developed to be able to bring high-class, technological innovations to the German-Dutch economic area. In the project, companies from both countries cooperate with innovation experts within different technology clusters with the aim of jointly developing new and novel technologies and learning how to use them. The sub-project "Food Pro.tec.ts Biomass" analyses in one of 8 work packages the material and energetic use of biomass by means of Hydrothermal Carbonization (HTC) and new fertiliser technologies.

NutriHAF - Diversifying agriculture for balanced nutrition through fruits and vegetables in multi-storey cropping systems

Two billion people worldwide suffer from the consequences of inadequate nutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, which result in physical weakness, disease and, in extreme cases, death. Against this background, the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), with the support of the project executing agency Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE), is funding four German-African research consortia with a total funding amount of around 4.5 million euros for the next three years.

Food Pro.tec.ts - Knowledge Transfer

Food Pro.tec.ts was developed to be able to bring high-class, technological innovations to the German-Dutch economic area. In the project, companies from both countries cooperate with innovation experts within various technology clusters with the aim of jointly developing new and novel technologies and learning how to use them. The sub-project "Food Pro.tec.ts Knowledge Transfer" develops exercises, trainings and knowledge transfer for consumers and users of new technologies in one of 8 work packages. The work packages focus on the development of sustainability and CSR management, communication as well as education strategies to promote a common understanding of sustainability in the Rhine-Waal region. This is the basis for the development of trend-setting technologies and processes that meet the ecological, ethical, social and economic market requirements. Through these developments, the competitiveness of SMEs in the agricultural and food industry in the Rhine-Waal region is secured in the long term. The reputation of the Rhine-Waal region beyond regional borders as an attractive and sustainable business location is strengthened.

ProciNut - Production and Processing of Edible Insects for Improved Nutrition

The project intends to better exploit the potential of edible insects for nutrition. It explores different processing technologies of local insect species and expands small-scale commercial production and processing activities. The goal is to produce safe and nutritious end products that fill seasonal gaps, increase household food security, and improve the income situation of poor women in Madagascar and Myanmar. The network coordinator is the Center for Development Research ZEF at the University of Bonn.

Campus to World

The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences is adapting its existing transfer instruments to the changing demands and needs of business, society and science and is developing new suitable transfer mechanisms. The project is funded by the federal-state initiative "Innovative University".

PASS - Partnership for Applied Sciences

Within the framework of the NRW-Ghana Partnership and the funding program "NRW-Partnerships for the Promotion of Technical Universities in Ghana", the Ministry of Innovation, Economy and Research (MIWF) has been funding the university partnership project "Partnership for Applied Sciences - PASS" between the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (consortium leader), the Cologne University of Applied Sciences, the International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef and the two Ghanaian universities Kumasi Technical University and Cape Coast Technical University through the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) since 2017.

Livestock Strategy

The aim of the project is to establish a structure that is sustainable in the long term and meets the requirements of animal welfare and environmental justice, as well as the business and social needs of livestock farms. Due to the consequences for the livestock farming industry, a broad dialog is required. This is to be worked out in the further course of a dialog process with agriculture, including the upstream and downstream economy, environmental and animal welfare associations as well as the food retail trade and consumer associations.
