Transition paths in Mexican Greenhouse Horticulture
- The general goal is describe transition paths for Mexican greenhouse horticulture. -
Animal Welfare Check Points
- The welfare of slaughteranimals is continuing under debate. The improvement of animal welfare is not only focussed on the transport itself, but also the loading, and unloading phases. Especially on the moments when animals are being handled and moved, they will undergo stress and possibly their welfare is decreased. In the AWCP project we aim to get insight in these Check Points. -
Use of anti-biotics in intensive livestock production Brazil
- The project aims to identify the current use of antibiotics in pig and poultry production in Brazil. -
Resource efficiency Amsterdam
- Global, EU, national, and regional economies are more and more impacted by a growing shortage of natural and other resources, with cities located vulnerably at the end of the trade chains. In this project we will explore the potential of nature-based solutions and the concept of urban metabolism for urban water and waste management. -
Habitats and ecosystems
- With signing the Bern Convention and the Biodiversity treaty, the Netherlands has committed itself to an adequate protection of all endangered species on their territory and to improve and maintain their favourable conservation status. -
BO-Positieflijst gezelschapsdieren
- Dit project behelst de inschatting van risico's (diergezondheid/dierenwelzijn, letselschade, zoönose) van het houden van (exotische) zoogdieren als basis voor beleidsbeslissingen over plaatsing van diersoorten op de huisdierenlijst (voorheen positieflijst). -
Knowledge and research for mussel production (KOMPRO)
- A large proportion of mussel fisheries and mussel farming takes place in nature reserves. For this reason, mussel production is governed by strict rules. -
Channel network evolution in a tectonically active basin

The Hungry Robots Lab
- The Hungry Robots Lab at Wageningen University & Research strives to innovate nutrition research. We want to measure what you eat, when you eat and how you eat fully automatically. Our favorite techniques and skills include machine learning, machine vision, deep learning, engineering and magic. -
Biological function of ROS-dependent CRKs modifications
- Unlike animals, as sessile organisms plants need to sense various abiotic and biotic stresses and respond to them appropriately. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulates in the plant cell under stress conditions and play an important role in intra- and extra- cellular signaling. It is not yet known what the ROS sensors in extracellular space are and how is the perception mechanisms established. This project will contribute to elucidating the role of Cysteine Rich Receptor Kinases (CRKs) as elusive ROS sensors crucial for extracellular redox signaling.
