Brasil
As pesquisas e outros trabalhos atuais da Wageningen University & Research (WUR) no Brasil e com parceiros do país estão ligados às áreas alimentar, de meio ambiente e mudanças climáticas, natureza e biodiversidade, bem como a aplicação de big data e tecnologia de sensoriamento na agricultura (agricultura de precisão).
Na última década, a WUR pôde se concentrar na pesquisa fundamental com parceiros brasileiros graças ao financiamento da Comissão Europeia e da Organização Holandesa de Pesquisa Científica (NWO), em colaboração com instituições científicas no Brasil como a FAPESP. As pesquisas aplicadas têm sido realizadas em colaboração com agências dos setores público e privado do Brasil e da Holanda.
Os cientistas e pesquisadores da WUR estão ansiosos para estabelecer novas parcerias para apoiar o desenvolvimento rural e urbano sustentável, bem como sistemas alimentares sólidos e sustentáveis. Na Wageningen, estamos ansiosos para fortalecer os laços existentes com parceiros estratégicos nacionais e globais no Brasil.
