Grain Harvesting Grain preservation

Climate change and increasing supply shortages remind us of the importance of optimal storage and preservation conditions to reduce grain losses [1]. Food prices are exploding worldwide and not only since the Russian invasion of Ukraine [2]. The causes of this price development are mainly rising producer costs due to higher costs for energy and inputs such as fertilizers and feed. This leads to a partly extreme increase in production costs, especially in drying and processing [3]. Research and development contribute to mastering these challenges through "technical innovations - the key to Green Productivity". With this leitmotif, Agritechnica puts the focus on modern crop production: How can agriculture increase its productivity and at the same time protect soil, climate and the environment [4].
