Superfood from Saxony-Anhalt

Due to climate change, drought-resilient crops are increasingly growing on the fields in Saxony-Anhalt, such as chickpeas, amaranth and other “superfoods”. The DiP-SuSaKlim project develops climate-adapted cultivation systems for these crops in organic farming and at the same time creates new regional value chains.

At Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, innovative crop rotations are being tested on the Merbitz trial field and monitored with state-of-the-art digital field sensors. The findings flow directly into agricultural practice: the cultivation systems are tested and optimised together with organic farms. In the FoodLab, this is used to create new products that meet consumer demands for healthy, regional food.

DiP-SuSaKlim thus strengthens organic farming in the region and creates new economic perspectives. The combination of traditional organic farming with digital innovation makes the region a pioneer for sustainable agriculture of the future.

In addition to production and product development, DiP-SuSaKlim focuses on digitalization. The project creates new economic prospects for Saxony-Anhalt – through innovative organic products, new processing structures and jobs in sustainable agriculture. DiP-SuSaKlim makes the region a pioneer for ecological, climate-adapted agriculture.
