FOOD SYSTEMS

The sustainable production of a sufficient amount of safe and nutritious food is of vital and increasing importance. Yet our food systems also play important roles in other areas besides supplying healthy foods - such as the provision of ecosystem services, employment opportunities, or the delivery of biogenic resources for other material use or energy supply... To do ‘our part' in this matter, different researchers at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences have come together to form a research group and combine forces to foster applied inter-disciplinary research on sustainable food systems. Topics range from sustainable primary production and utilisation of biogenic raw materials, the protection and conservation of natural resources as well as securing human nutrition and health at the interface of life, engineering and social sciences. Taken together, we hope that our research will contribute to the innovations needed to increase the resilience and circularity within our food..
