Sustainable management strategy for fungal diseases in Rubus: a necessary step forward
(Rudisco (1/12/2019 – 30/11/2023))
The cultivation of Rubus species (raspberry and blackberry), is on the rise. This fruit is now available fresh from May to December and has gained a more prominent place in the stores' AGF supply. The fruit is associated with healthy food due to the high levels of vitamins, anti-oxidantia,… present ...
Integrated decision support models for production and routing decisions in real-world supply chains Hasselt University
* Promotion of rhizobial survival in seed inoculants KU Leuven
The rising population and increased demand for food causes pressure on agriculture to produce crops more abundant and more efficient. Unlike natural ecosystems, where the need in nutrients is low, crops demand more nutrients to produce biomass in a quick manner. Nitrogen is often a limiting factor for growth. To maximize the yield of crops in intensive agriculture, (artificial) fertilizer is added as an external nitrogen source. However, this ...

Influence of distinct process-induced (micro)structures on the in vitro starch digestibility of common beans: A kinetic approach KU Leuven
Transitioning towards food systems favourable for both human health and environmental sustainability has been recently identified as an immediate challenge. In this context, a significant increase in consumption of plant-based foods (e.g. cereals, fruits, legumes, nuts, vegetables) is being strongly promoted to improve health and environmental benefits. Consequently, the development of safe and nutritious food products from ...
