A Wageningen-led partnership will test integrated approaches to pig-house emissions, combining nutrition, manure management and pen engineering with sensors that track gases and animal welfare inside and outside housing.
A Wageningen doctoral study examines vertical farming from crop layout to urban adoption, connecting tomato spacing and lighting experiments with carbon-footprint analysis and the importance of cleaner electricity supplies.
Eight Wageningen researchers received Vidi awards, including projects on soil fungi and crop PFAS contamination, recycled phosphorus availability during drought, and groundwater protection for food production.
Wageningen researcher Inge de Graaf received a Vidi grant for SAFE-GROUND, a modelling project examining how climate extremes and water demand connect groundwater stress with food production and ecosystems.
Wageningen researchers found changes in slurry composition after applying Kopros, suggesting possible emission benefits while stressing that ammonia reductions were inferred rather than measured directly in the cattle house.
The four-year TRITON programme will combine artificial intelligence, crop modelling and gene editing to accelerate breeding for climate resilience, with an emphasis on making research tools accessible internationally.
