From April 2024, 19 joint projects of the DiP consortium began their research work.
The joint projects can be categorized thematically into three so-called “lighthouses”:
“Value chains of agricultural crops”
(grain and straw, sugar beet, pea),
“Sustainable and climate-resilient cultivation systems for the production of bio-based raw materials”
(agroforestry, hemp and superfood) and
“Value chains for special crops”
(recyclable materials from plant residues, special crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, potential analyses).
The DiP consortium also includes three junior research groups (NWG) and a project for “accompanying research”.
More than 40 partner institutions from science and industry are involved in the 19 DiP joint projects – alongside Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), regional universities, non-university research institutions, regional companies and, in some cases, supra-regional partners.
Agricultural crops, sustainable & climate-resilient cultivation systems for the production of bio-based raw materials and special crops are being investigated here
An integral, project-accompanying measure to examine the sustainability and socio-economics of the DiP model region and the individual alliances and to evaluate the transfer, standardization and sustainability of the funded projects.
The DiP consortium also comprises three junior research groups (NWG), each of which is represented in one of the three lighthouses.
Accompanying research on the digitalization of plant-based value chains for the development of participatory and learning sustainability monitoring.
