Human, nature and food is a series of events that aims at exploring ways in which we can put scientific knowledge into practice!

During three sessions, we will get to know different projects related to food. We will put our knowledge into practice and discover the struggles that arise when going into the field. We will do so together, by reading, exchanging knowledge and by discussing with people who are working on these projects.

17th of May: Exploring Farming Practices together with Wageningen Student Farm

25th of May: Entrepreneurship in the Agri-food Domain together with StartHub

7th & 14th of June: Foodscaping in the surroundings together with Prof. Wiskerke. *limited spots available*

IT'S OUT!

Go to our website to check out the resulting report after the series of events "The Impact of Collaboration", which gathers opinions from the WUR community about the collaboration between WUR and the private sector, identifying potential risks, benefits, advice and recommendations.

The report was presented to the Executive Board of Wageningen University & Research in September. What do you think they said about it?

Big thanks to OtherWise Wageningen for the collaboration in the process and elaboration of the report.

Were you also woken up by rain and thunder earlier this morning? Our weather station registered 18.8 mm of rain in less than 20 minutes. The temperature almost instantly dropped by one degree Celsius. We are curious to see how quickly it will heat up again. ⛈

Thanks to over 343 foto's 📸made by dozens of Citizen Scientists we have been able to follow last year's landscape changes of the Wageningen Floodplains very closely. The video of this and other locations is now on our Citizen Science youtube channel.
You can see the flowering Hawthorn and Ragwort in May,the white Yarrow and blue Chicory in July, trees loosing their leaves in October and November, flooding and ice in February, grazing sheep in April and then it starts all over again... 🌱🌳🍂❄️🐑
