    Healthy food and healthy living

    Focus area ‘Healthy food and healthy living’ encapsulates our ambition to, through practical research - linked to training, courses and advisory programmes - make a significant contribution to the objective: ‘Live a long and healthy life'.

  • Healthy food production

    Focus area ‘Healthy food production’ covers the entire food supply chain: themes such as circular agriculture, soil, food waste reduction, protein transition, new food systems, chain development, revenue models and entrepreneurship in the primary sector, are all significant components. We’ll focus on every aspect while never losing sight of the entire food supply chain.

  • Healthy living environment

    Where food production, nature and the urban environment were seen as separate entities in the past, we want to bring these issues together. Within the focus area of ‘Healthy living environment’ we’ll investigate how the different issues interrelate in spatial terms, and determine if they share common solutions.
