How to make wheat bread even more nutritious
[25.06.2025]

Wheat contains many valuable nutrients – and can help to make a diet with bread even healthier. However, the nutrient content depends on the type of wheat. A rapid test method could help to increase the nutrient content of wheat along the entire value chain. Researchers at the State Plant Breeding Institute of the University of Hohenheim have reached this result. In the...more


Animal teamwork: birds, bees and bats working together means more macadamia nuts [06.11.2024]

The interaction of bees, bats and birds has a decisive influence on the quantity and quality of macadamia nuts. This is the conclusion reached by an international research team led by the universities of Göttingen and Hohenheim. The effectiveness of animal ecosystem services - pollination and biological pest control- also depends on the altitude of the area and whether it...more


Wind energy:
Misinformation about wind farms is widespread
[21.10.2024]

Wind turbines are harmful to health and economically inefficient - such misinformation undermines the social acceptance of wind turbines.

"Science" publication:
Ants have been farming – for 66 million years
[17.10.2024]

Humans are not the only ones who farm – ants have been practicing this art for much longer. They cultivate fungi. For more than 66 million years, as demonstrated by researchers with the support of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart. This was made possible by gene sequencing, from which an evolutionary tree of the fungi could be generated. By combining this with the ants'...more


Hybrid Intelligence:
Pioneering Approach Can Reconcile Biodiversity & Agriculture
[11.04.2024]

Preserving biodiversity without reducing agricultural productivity: So far, these two goals could not be reconciled because the socio-ecological system of agriculture is highly complex, and the interactions between humans and the environment are difficult to capture using conventional methods. Thanks to new technology, a research team at the University of Hohenheim in...more


Climate Research:
New DFG research group at the University of Hohenheim
[14.12.2023]

Whether one looks at long-term climate forecasts or the prediction of storms, drought, and heavy rainfall – the interaction between land and atmosphere plays a major role. The German Research Foundation (DFG) is setting up the “Land-Atmosphere Feedback Initiative (LAFI)” research group on this topic at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart. The DFG research group’s...more


Microalgae:
Environmentally friendly and healthy alternative to fish
[09.10.2023]

Rows of plates with tasty tortelloni, with unidentified fillings: The volunteers participating in a tasting study at the University of Hohenheim tested a new food: microalgae. The taste is reminiscent of fish and the recipe is still being fine-tuned. From a nutritional point of view, the single-cell organisms are veritable all-rounders. Just like marine fish, they are a...more
