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.
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.
As the name suggests, the aim of the Innovative Bio-Monitoring research group is to apply innovative bio-monitoring techniques – like automatic image and sound recognition - to concrete social issues. The goal is to contribute to protecting and maintaining our biodiversity.
The Climate-robust Landscapes: connecting agriculture and nature research group is focusing on the question how other forms of agriculture can contribute to improving water quality and stimulating biodiversity through smart use of the landscape.
The Precision Livestock Farming research group wants to facilitate smart farming and the use data for more precise operational management. The research group also looks to other industries for inspiration.
The Business Models for Regenerative Agriculture research group focuses on how new opportunities can arise for nature-inclusive business operators in an alternative interaction between farmers, society and government. It is also looking at how a business model with sufficient earning potential can be created for farmers who want to work on nature-inclusive agriculture.
A healthy food environment and making healthy food choices is at the heart of the Food & Health research group of HAS green academy. The research group focuses on 2 issues: the composition of the product and what you can say about it in your communication & marketing.
The Food Production in a Circular Economy research group wants to facilitate businesses in the agri-food sector in producing with minimum impact on the environment while making the most efficient use of natural resources. This is mainly done by closing loops and making production processes more sustainable.
The Future Food Systems research group is working on intervention strategies and new business models that accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems. In this way, we contribute to the impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, nationally and internationally.
The Design Methods in Food research group is the driving force behind the ZERO Food Waste Challenge. In 2021 there was a Brabant edition, in 2022 nationwide. Partners are Aeres, Inholland, Fontys, Food Valley Circular, Foundation Jong Leren Eten, Foundation Samen Tegen Voedselverspilling and Rabobank.
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'.
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.
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.
