1. Land use dynamics in the face of population increase. A study in the districts of Gatsibo and Nyagatare, Eastern Province, Rwanda
Abstract : This thesis is about land use dynamics in areas undergoing population increase. The study was undertaken to clarify how the increasing population interacted with their physical environment through farming in Eastern Province, Rwanda. READ MORE

2. Strategic nitrogen management in stockless organic cropping systems : redistribution of residual biomass for improved energy and nitrogen balance
Abstract : Agriculture faces the challenge of producing high yields to feed a growing world population, while simultaneously addressing environmental problems such as eutrophication, emissions of greenhouse gases, loss of biodiversity and soil degradation. Organic farming can be part of the solution, as it promotes biodiversity, uses less energy for fertiliser production and often has higher inputs of organic matter to soil than conventional farming.

4. Design and assessment of legume-supported cropping systems
Abstract : Legumes provide high quality protein for food and feed as well as other ecosystem services, but it is still challenging to use them to meet the growing global demand for protein, partly because European farmers consider their cultivation unprofitable and risky. This thesis aims to design legume-supported cropping systems and assess their environmental and economic impacts along with their production risks in European agriculture. READ MORE

5. Dynamics of root microorganisms in closed hydroponic cropping systems
Abstract : Greenhouse production of vegetables in closed hydroponic cropping systems is a resource-efficient technique for the production of high-quality produce with a high yield per unit area. While this type of cropping system allows savings in terms of water and nutrient use, the recirculation of water increases the risk of pathogen dispersal. READ MORE
