-
Flexcrop
- Rigid climate control in greenhouse demands a large amount of energy. Dutch greenhouse power demand was 100 PJ in 2018. Temperature and light... -
Enlighted pigs: throwing a light on pigs’ welfare
- PhD project by Alice Scaillierez. So far, the relevance of light intensity and light spectrum for pig welfare is often neglected, as also important... -
Synergia
- Dutch agriculture faces huge sustainability challenges related to environmental, labour and societal aspects. Various factors limit incremental... -
Enlighted pigs: integrating light with animal-friendly and sustainable farming
- In animal husbandry light has a large influence on behaviour, health, growth and therefore welfare of the animals. We aim to increase fundamental... -
Innorays: DNA kinship analysis
- Can we estimate how many rays are swimming in the North Sea with DNA kinship analysis and close kin mark recapture? -
Innorays: video monitoring
- How can we use video monitoring ('electronic monitoring') to determine how many rays are caught? -
OSW2.1 Innorays
- Can we register catches of rays with video techniques? Can we use DNA techniques to estimate how many ray are swimming in the North Sea? -
Cognitive Robots for Flexible Agro Food Technology (Flexcraft)
- Robots that automatically harvest tomatoes or package biscuits in boxes of various sizes are now becoming a reality: Wageningen University &... -
Decision making in soil based irrigation systems for high water use efficiency and minimized drainage
- The main objective of this PhD project is to investigate the best way to use the least amount of water during irrigation considering the trade-off... -
LED's for energy savings in greenhouses
- The greenhouse sector in The Netherlands is a major consumer of energy: 10% of the natural gas used in the country is devoted to horticulture. LED it...
