Biodiversity

Biodiversity is an important theme in research and education at Wageningen University & Research. For what we do in our “own” environment, biodiversity is one of the key elements in our sustainability policies. Biodiversity is the variety of life in a defined area. Biodiversity encompasses all types of plants, animals, and microorganisms, as well as the enormous genetic variation within the species and the variation within the ecosystems of which they are part.
