Based on the information needs of stakeholders (from animal feed to consumers, including the authorities and organizations involved) an integrated IT-system without structural fractures and barriers shall be developed. It will be designed to enable the merging, internal exchange and utilization of relevant data and parameters. Subprojects of the interdisciplinary research consortium cover the entire supply chain and also address cross-section issues, such as logistics, costs and benefits, veterinarian services, quality assurance systems, a comprehensive IT-solution including data format standards (agroXML), and requirements for sustainability. Substantial added value has been generated from intensive interdisciplinary co-operation. The interdisciplinary research project IT FoodTrace (http://www.itfoodtrace.de) aims at achieving traceability and quality assurance along the food chain of ''meat and meat products''. The aim of this paper is the presentation of (a) the complexity of underlying problems, (b) the project structure, (c) available results from selected sub-projects and (d) the added values from interdisciplinary co-operation. Selected findings include an optimized single animal data collection and information management in livestock systems, benefits gained by linking animal-healthrelated information to an integrated animal-health system, requirements and features of an integrated IT-System, including consequences for data protection and security, and findings from a Delphi-based cost-benefit-analysis of an integrated quality assurance and traceability system.
Zusammenfassung
Die Umsetzung des anspruchsvollen Konzepts „Forschendes Lernen“ gestaltet sich übersichtlicher und weniger schwierig, wenn es sowohl Studierenden als auch Lehrenden in Etappen nähergebracht und der akademische Nachwuchs mit dem Forschungsprozess in kleinen Einheiten vertraut gemacht wird. In diesem Beitrag werden die Vorteile einer Sequenzierung des Forschenden Lernens mit Fokus auf das Lernen des Forschens beleuchtet und anhand des Qualitätspakt-Lehre-Projekts „Humboldt reloaded – Wissenschaftspraxis von Anfang an“ an der Universität Hohenheim beispielhaft dargestellt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
