Agrotechnology and Food Sciences
Facilities Agrotechnology & Food Sciences
Wageningen University & Research has advanced facilities for food research, such as facilities for flavour research, longer shelf life of fresh products and the possibilities for robots within the agrifood sector.
Bioprocess Engineering
Bioprocess Engineering teaches and develops innovative bio-based processes. We work on a sustainable and healthy future by engineering efficient bioprocesses for high quality products. Bioprocess Engineering studies and develops photoautotrophic and heterotrophic production systems for biobased products, as well as high-quality processes for the production of biopharmaceuticals.
Human Nutrition and Health
Our mission is to improve human health through better nutrition. We have a broad expertise and outstanding facilities for academic education and research in Human Nutrition and Health.
Environmental Technology
Environmental Technology (ETE) develops and evaluates innovative environmental technologies and concepts based on processes from nature, to recover and reuse essential components and maintain and create a viable environment. Our education inspires students to develop their talents. We impact by innovation through top science and focus on applicability.
Biobased Chemistry & Technology
To expand the potential of global resources, BCT enables the transition from a fossil- based to a bio-based economy by developing efficient and sustainable (catalytic) conversion processes and sustainable materials.
Biomolecular Sciences
Life is equally wonderful and mind-blowing in its complexity. While living organisms can span many meters, life arises at the billion-fold smaller scale of nanometers, where the molecules of life are orchestrated their intricate and vital functions. Advanced interdisciplinary approaches at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics are essential to study life at multiple levels. At the Biomolecular Sciences Cluster, we are focused on increasing humankind’s fundamental understanding of the diverse processes of life and disseminate the necessary knowledge for a brighter and sustainable future.
Food Sciences and Technology
The Food Sciences and Technology Cluster is working on the challenge of converting the world’s harvests into safe, healthy and good food for our changing global population. Now and for the decades ahead in the entire food system. The Food Sciences and Technology research unit incorporates two major mutually linked and multidisciplinary lines of research.
