Projects

At HAS green academy, students, professors, research lecturers, lecturers and professionals from the field work together on a variety of projects in the areas of agriculture, food and living environment, both nationally and internationally.

Research projects

Projects can refer to graduation research, but also research projects in minor degrees and teaching modules. The projects are carefully chosen and implemented, and are usually listed under the research programme, as defined for the next few years. A selection of projects will be showed here in the future.

  • Flavour texture

    Flavour & Texture

    pubDate
    30-06-2023

    A consortium comprising research organizations and companies from across the food production chain aims to understand and resolve flavour and texture issues related to plant-based foods. The results from this consortium will improve the eating experience for plant-based meat and dairy alternatives. The Protein Transition in Food professorship is working on this project on behalf of HAS green academy.

  • Kefir

    Bio-purification of plant proteins

    pubDate
    30-06-2023

    The Protein Transition in Food professorship of HAS green academy is working on a project that develops bio-purification techniques based on fermentation. Fermentation has been used for millennia to create such familiar foodstuffs as yoghurt, bread, and beer, but it can be applied much more widely in food production using different microbial cultures.

  • Microbial contaminants

    Controlling microbial contaminants in plant-based foods

    pubDate
    30-06-2023

    The Protein Transition in Food professorship is working on a multi-year research project on behalf of HAS green academy aimed at investigating the potential food safety and quality risks of microbial contaminants in plant-based food products, such as dairy alternatives.

  • Cellular proteins

    Sustainable production chains for cellular proteins

    pubDate
    30-06-2023

    A public-private consortium of industrial and knowledge partners has received Dutch TKI grants for a multi-year, multi-phase project on using microbial biomass to create functional, protein-rich ingredients for sustainable production of food. The Protein Transition in Food professorship is working on this project on behalf of HAS green academy.

  • Applied education Indonesia

    Improving practical education in Indonesia

    pubDate
    31-03-2023

    HAS green academy is currently participating in a two-year Nuffic project aimed at supporting and improving practical education in Indonesia. To do this, we are working together with both Indonesian and Dutch partners.

  • Substrate training Benin

    Giving substrate training to growers in Benin

    pubDate
    31-03-2023

    HAS green academy is currently working with Holland Greentech and UCCM Calavi on a Nuffic-project in French speaking Benin, West Africa focusing on giving substrate training to growers.

  • food waste

    ZERO Food Waste Challenge

    pubDate
    01-09-2022

    The Design Methods in Food professorship is the driving force behind the ZERO Food Waste Challenge with an aim to increase awareness among students in higher education, throughout the Netherlands, about the amount of food needlessly wasted in schools, institutions, and in the food industry. The live kick-off of this years edition took place on September 12, 2023 at 6:45 PM.
