Disciplines

Our approach is to combine several disciplines in order to achieve innovations for environmental solutions.

Publications & Projects

The fundamental research at Wageningen University & Research is conducted by chair groups. Each chair group, under leadership of a professor, has its own area of expertise. All chair groups share a common research domain: healthy food and living environment. Wageningen University & Research is comprised of one faculty that is divided into five departments.

Projects of this Chair Group cover various topics in its own area of expertise. Outcomes of these studies are regularly published in scientific journals. You can find all publications and projects in Wageningen Library.
