Development of an integrated decision support tool for managing dairy cows using a data and biology accommodating approach KU Leuven
With more than 170 million tons of milk produced by dairy cows in 2017, the dairy sector was the second most important agricultural sector of the EU. It is, however, not exempt from emerging disruption as it faces a confluence of challenges such as the rapidly increasing global demand for dairy products, the volatility of global dairy markets and the growing concern over the impact of ruminant production on climate change, water quality and ...
Tackling the ‘Triple Planetary Crisis’: Towards New Assemblages of Praxis KU Leuven
Science and technology alone are unable to solve the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. How does combining various types of knowledge and knowhow create new assemblages of praxis to tackle global environmental challenges? This research programme considers boundary-crossing initiatives in three interrelated domains: spiritual/religious praxis, local/Indigenous knowledge systems, and arts-based praxis. ...

Prediction of N2O emission from tropical forest: a modelar biosphere simulation environment (MobiLe) approach Ghent University
With regards to global climate change soils are of significant importance as sources for atmospheric trace gases such as nitrous oxide (N2O). Tropical forest soils account for 18% of global N2O emission. Therefore, this project aims to assess the effect of spatial resolution of a detailed biogeochemical model driving variables on the quantity and quality of N2O emission simulations from a tropical forest (Nyungwe) in southwest of Rwanda.
