The Internet portal gmo-safety.eu provides up-to-date clear and intelligible information about current and past biosafety research into genetically modified plants in Germany. The focus is on projects supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The sections ‘Maize’, ‘Grain’, ‘Potatoes’, ‘Oilseed rape’, ‘Woody plants’, ‘Monitoring’ and ‘Gene transfer’ provide comprehensive basic information about the key BMBF-funded research areas. A database with summaries of research topics, methods and results (‘Database’) is supplemented by exciting insights into the everyday working lives of researchers (‘Science live’), background reports on individual topics (‘Focus’) and news stories on everything to do with biological safety research both in Germany and at international level (‘News’). The ‘Debate’ section is designed to enliven the discussion about green genetic engineering by offering new perspectives and surprising points of view – this section regularly presents interesting texts on scientifically and socially relevant topics. There is also a glossary with key terms, a photo database and a schools portal (German only) with suggestions for teachers. ... [Information of the supplier]
1923 wurde an der damaligen Landwirtschaftlichen Hochschule in Berlin-Dahlem ein Institut für Bienenkunde gegründet. Nach der Teilung Deutschlands und Berlins wurde das auf Westberliner Territorium gelegene Institut von der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Ost) abgetrennt und der Technischen Universität Berlin (West) zugeordnet. 1952 baute die Humboldt-Universität als Ersatz in Hohen Neuendorf bei Berlin die Abteilung Bienenkunde und Seidenbau des Instituts für Geflügel- und Kleintierzucht auf. Bienenforschung und Bienenhaltung sind mit diesem Standort seitdem fest verbunden. 1970 wurde am Hohen Neuendorfer Standort die Forschungsstelle für Bienenwirtschaft gegründet. Nach Auflösung der Lehr- und Forschungsanstalt für Bienenzucht in Tälermühle (Thüringen) wurden Teile dieses Instituts nach Hohen Neuendorf verlagert und mit Teilen der Abteilung Bienenkunde vereinigt. 1992 erfolgte die Gründung des Länderinstituts für Bienenkunde Hohen Neuendorf durch das Agrarministerium des Landes Brandenburg. Es wird durch die Bundesländer Berlin, Brandenburg, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen projektgebunden gefördert. Schwerpunktthemen: Züchtung gegen Varroatose, Honigforschung, Untersuchungen zur Bedeutung der Bienen als Umweltfaktor, Hochschullehre und imkerliche Beratung. ...

The Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute (vTI) is one of four German federal research institutes under the auspices of the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV). The vTI was created on January 1, 2008 from the German Federal Research Centre for Fisheries, the German Federal Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products and part of the German Federal Agricultural Research Centre. The vTI drafts scientific basics as decision-making helps for the policy of the German federal government and thus serves, with its application oriented and practice related research, the development of the society of tomorrow. The vTI pursues interdisciplinary research in the following areas: Economics (micro and macroeconomics of agriculture, forestry, lumber, food and fish production), Technology, Material use of renewable natural resources, Climate, Biodiversity, Organic Farming. The vTI comprises 15 specialty institutes. The headquarters of the vTI are in Braunschweig with facilities in Hamburg, Großhansdorf, Eberswalde, Waldsieversdorf, Rostock, Cuxhaven, Ahrensburg and Trenthorst. ... [Information of the supplier]
Our goal is to contribute to the development of a network of sustainable and ecological agricultural systems, which provide food, renewable resources and energy. The environmentally friendly nature of these systems ensures optimal soil and plant health, and promotes animal welfare, biodiversity, an efficient energy flow and nutrient cycle balance. ...

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the most intriguing feature of soils and one of the most fascinating properties of terrestrial ecosystems. SOM is the integrating parameter of soil fertility and stability of agricultural and natural ecosystems. SOM 2015 will connect pools with fluxes, living and dead organic matter, organic and mineral compounds, topsoil and deep soil, experiments and modeling, terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems, dynamics and sequestration and surely the scientists investigating SOM from over the world. All this is necessary to elucidate Structure, Origin, Mechanisms of SOM formation and functioning. We are looking forward to welcome you in Göttingen for this exciting event of the International Year of Soils 2015. ... [Information of the supplier]
