Annika Ahlers (Board Member German Agrifood Society)

28 years old, lives in the countryside in Alverskirchen in Münsterland.
Annika Ahlers is fascinated by agriculture and direct food production. She is a trained farmer and wants to play an active role in making these cycles sustainable, sustainable and regional. She is a motivated, trained farmer, a 100% doer! With dedicated, independent projects such as the "Erklärbauer", "Roadtripagrar" or the "Bauernbox" she has become an expert in urban-rural dialogue. Since then, she has brought her expertise and special perspective as a career changer "from the pumps into the rubber boots" in a diverse and versatile way, especially in the aspect of internal and external communication. She is particularly pleased to be able to contribute her expertise to the German Agrifood Society through her position on the board.

Seedalive

Dead or seedalive? Rapid germination test for plant seeds

The rapid germination test for plant seeds from seedalive can be used to quickly, easily and reliably determine whether seeds are vital, senescent or already dead using an AI. Even dormante (dormant) seeds can be reliably assessed. Seedalive is a science spinoff from the botany department of the University of Osnabrück. A patent application has been filed for the underlying technology.

SEAWATER Cubes - New ways of fish farming.

We are a high-tech startup in plant engineering and founded SEAWATER Cubes after we discovered that Frankfurt Airport is the largest fish port in Germany. Our team builds and sells the SEAWATER Cube, the first compact and fully automated fish farming system to cultivate marine fish regionally and far away from the oceans. Customers are future-oriented food entrepreneurs and farmers as well as large companies that want to expand their business portfolio with a mainstay with impact.

Du bist hier der Chef

The initiative "Du bist hier der Chef!" creates transparency in the quality and price of food, supports farmers thanks to fair prices, promotes nature conservation, animal welfare and biodiversity with its products and unites all stakeholders - consumers, farmers, industry and trade - towards a new solidarity-based food production and marketing in Germany. Thanks to a unique participatory co-creation process, consumers decide for themselves what is important to them in food, how it should be produced, and help determine the corresponding fair price.

In 2020, the initiative won the Hessian Founder's Prize in the Social Impact category. Its first product - the democratically-elected consumer milk, which has already been available in selected supermarkets for 2 years - was also awarded the Fairness Prize in 2021.

Nunos

Nunos transfers the C.R.O.P. process developed at DLR from space travel to agriculture: we scale up the natural and microbial soil processes of nitrification in modular plants. Manure and fermentation residues are turned directly into plant-available fertilizers, which save a large part of the previously additional mineral fertilizer applications and help to reduce emissions to the environment to a minimum. Nitrate-polluted waters, expensive and poorly available mineral fertilizers, but also the characteristic slurry smell are a thing of the past! We turn liquid manure into the new "gold"!

Neggst

Neggst is the world's first plant-based egg that tastes and looks like a chicken egg. It consists of vegan egg white, egg yolk and a shell. In addition to its appearance and taste, it is also in no way inferior to a chicken egg in terms of functional diversity - making it suitable for use as a scrambled or fried egg, but also for baking and cooking. The recipe, based on field bean and pea protein, sweet potato and vegetable oil, is enriched with vitamins and has a similar nutritional profile to that of a chicken egg. Only better: fewer calories, no cholesterol, no drug residues and no risk of salmonella. So sustainability, animal welfare and enjoyment go hand in hand.

BettaF!sh

TU-NAH tastes like tuna, looks confusingly like it and is an all-rounder, just like the original from the can. The biggest difference? Based on seaweed and field beans, BettaF!sh TU-NAH is the most delicious vegan tuna alternative on the market - 100% plant-based, rich in protein, free of soy and wheat.

Langes Gemüseglück

Every year we lose soil as much as an area half the size of Europe, while a huge amount of food is wasted. Langes Gemüseglück has developed a regional food waste recycling system that is used directly at the customer's site. Through a self-developed sustainable, high-quality and efficient composting process, ALL organic waste is transformed into healthy soil for residential or commercial use, where healthy fruits and vegetables can grow. The system reduces CO2 emissions by 37 times compared to conventional disposal and makes an important contribution to protecting our soils in line with the EU Soil Strategy for 2030.
