A 'green' toolbox: non-chemotherapeutic approaches for gastrointestinal nematode control in ruminants
Get PDFGrazing ruminants are commonly infected with gastrointestinal nematodes, and their negative impacts on animal health, welfare and production are intensified by increasing anthelmintic drug resistance. The goal of reducing anthelmintic use while preserving effective parasite control has motivated research on non-chemotherapeutic interventions, including those relevant to 'green'/organic ruminant production systems. However, 'green' control strategies are at varying levels of development, and an updated overview of the fragmented evidence is timely before they can be integrated with current parasite management. Here, we highlight recent scientific progress of selected non-chemotherapeutic tools for gastrointestinal nematode control in ruminants, existing knowledge gaps, and how novel research approaches and new technologies are contributing to their testing, further development and on-farm implementation, while advancing our understanding of host–parasite–environment interactions

Module 9: Data management in on-farm cultivar testing
Get PDFThis module provides guidance on how to manage data generated from on-farm cultivar evaluation trials so that it is FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and in a format ready for statistical analysis
Module 10: Application of digital tools for data collection and sharing
Get PDFThe aim of the module is to demonstrate the importance of digital tools in data collection and sharing, with a particular focus on agricultural research and organisational management. It introduces the most important platforms used in organic farming and research, and highlights the advantages of the SeedLinked system, such as collaborative experimentation, data protection, and traceabilit
Unlocking the power of Neglected and Underutilised Species (NUS)
No full textHunger and malnutrition are widespread large parts of Africa and Asia, with climate change and soil degradation adding to the problem. A promising but overlooked solution lies in the diversity of our food systems. Neglected and Underutilised Species (NUS) are resilient, locally adapted plants that have been overlooked by governments and research but hold great potential for food security, nutrition, and sustainability. Small-scale farmers, as guardians of traditional crop varieties, play a vital role in preserving the world’s remaining agrobiodiversity, a key to building resilient, diverse, and sustainable food systems
Module 18: Growing and propagating bunt resistant wheat varieties
No full textThis training material is part of a self-paced e-learning module given by the German Organic Cereal Breeding Initiative Dottenfelderhof on growing and propagating b.
The production of high-quality organic seeds forms the basis of a functioning farming structure. Common bunt is a dangerous disease in organic farming and can cause a total failure of wheat harvests. In general, there are good control mechanisms like comprehensive seed testing, the use of resistant varieties, etc., but challenges still remain. For example, the race-specific effectiveness of the genetic resistances in bunt-resistant wheat lines leads to complex distribution patterns, as a result of regionally different bunt races and seed-borne spore transmission. In this context, all actors of the organic breeding and seeds system need to pay special attention and take precautions when growing or propagating seed of bunt-resistant wheat varieties.

Long term trial on spring wheat
No full textThis dataset is part of the database compiled as an outcome of Work Area 1 in project OrganicYieldsUP. Variable definitions can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15276083.
Data on spring wheat from a long term trial on cereal production for the period 2015-2024 (available for researchers on request). The dataset comprises yield information on 44 varieties, fertilisation operations in seven localities (not all present all years: Grästorp, Västerås, Vikingstad, Vara, Skara, Skultuna, Borrby)
Das Potenzial einer grünlandbasierten Milchproduktion in Deutschland
Get PDF“Funktionen, Formen und Umfang der Tierhaltung in nachhaltigen Agrar- und Ernährungssystemen”
Schlussfolgerungen:
Wenn Kühe wirklich nur Gras fressen würden hätten wir halb so viel Milch, Fleisch und THG-Emissionen wie heute.
Protein direkt vom Acker ist viel effizienter als Protein von Tieren, die Kraftfutter fressen.
Sorgsame Grünlandnutzung trägt zur Ernährungssicherheit bei – und da kann man optimieren:
- Standortangepasst
- Weidemanagement
- Besatzstärke und Weidedruck
- Optimale Nutzung von Nebenprodukten
Eine umfassende Ernährungssystemsicht ist notwendig
Modellierungen sind immer sehr unsicher, aber können sehr hilfreich sein:
liefern grobe «Hausnummern», benennen Zielkonflikte und Synergie
