MARket and Profit Analysis of Illicit Indoor CANnabis Culivation and Trade - MARCANT Ghent University
Judicial response to illicit indoor cannabis production and sales activities consists of confiscating the profits growers obtained by selling their produce. To reliably estimate these profits, well-founded estimates of both cannabis crop yields and sales prices (mechanisms) are required. Today, police and jurisdiction in Belgium and the Netherlands use different and outdated models to estimate yield, sales prices and thus profits of illicit ...
COBECORE-2: Upgrading of archived eco-climatic data from the Kong basin Ghent University
In this four year project COBECORE will develop a multi-faceted database, by making the static analog archives of the Institut National pour l’Etude Agronomique du Congo belge (INEAC) digitally accessible in addition to extracting eco-physiological relevant plant traits from historical herbarium specimens. As such, the project will complement previously transcribed insular climate records (e.g. at Yangambi and Luki) with data gathered ...

Modelling and simulation of crop growth and quality Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The productivity and quality of crops depends on the complex interaction between environmental conditions in which the crop is growing and its genetic background. In a mechanistic crop model, scientists can relate the most important environmental drivers (including management) to crop variables by means of mathematical equations. This research project develops such a model for several crucial ...
