Project approach

Methodology

By means of technological, soil ecological and plant physiological basic research, the Hg bioavailability in soils, the accumulation of Hg in different plants, as well as interactions with AMF in this process will be determined by research partners from Germany, Ghana and Burkina Faso. At the same time, social science researchers will analyse the institutional and socio-economic context for the application of AMF plant systems. Stakeholder groups will be involved from the very beginning of the project and supported with capacity building measures. This approach guarantees the sustainable use of the results in Ghana and Burkina Faso.
