Much research of Wageningen University & Research is connected with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015 the United National general Assembly agreed on 17 goals, providing an agenda for sustainable development, a plan for action for people, planet and prosperity.
WUR is strongly committed to contributing to these goals through its sustainable operations and premises, but most of all through its research and education programmes. And we have built up a strong track record over many years.

To allow the younger generation to experience the value of a sustainable society, WUR has founded the Borlaug Youth Institute, part of the World Food Prize Foundation in the US. In an annual competition, youths are challenged to find solutions to one of the most critical challenges the world faces: the world food problem.
