Smart Rural Areas Data Infrastructure
The interdisciplinary platform “Smart Rural Area Data Infrastructure” (SRADI) is being set up to make research data accessible. A central component is the HEF catalog, which stores information about resources such as organizations and datasets. The catalog provides metadata storage, publication, retrieval, information discovery and user access management.
FAIRagro
FAIRagro unites the agrosystems research community and develops a digital infrastructure for sustainable crop production. The project is led by the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) and the HEF as co-applicants. In order to make research data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), we are setting up an interoperable and scalable research data infrastructure (FDI), networking existing repositories and facilitating systemic analyses.
Agri-PV
Since 2025, we have a agri-photovoltaic research facility in Dürnast. Vertical and tracking modules are installed on 1.5 hectares, alongside a 1-hectare cultivated reference plot. The facility is open to research projects. If you are interested, please review the information provided here.
Agroforestry
In Roggenstein, a total of approximately 30 hectares of experimental plots have been established for TUM’s agroforestry tree-row trials. There is also a 1.5-hectare demonstration plot in Dürnast. If you are interested in the site, please refer to the information here.
