Towards a safe and just operating
space for EU agriculture
Colleagues of the Agricultural Economics and Rural Policy Group participate in BrightSpace.
WU contributes to several working packages in the BrightSpace project. The main contribution will be in two areas:
Wageningen university is part of Wageningen University & Research and is the only university in the Netherlands to focus specifically on the theme ‘healthy food and living environment’. WUR’s mission is ‘To explore the potential of nature to improve the quality of life’.
The strength of Wageningen University & Research lies in its ability to join the forces of specialised research institutes and the university. It also lies in the combined efforts of the various fields of natural and social sciences. This union of expertise leads to scientific breakthroughs that can quickly be put into practice and be incorporated into education. This is the Wageningen Approach. Collaboration with other parties such as government, business and NGOs is indispensable. This is in line with the Finding Answers Together ambition.
The scientific quality of Wageningen University & Research is affirmed by the prominent position we occupy in international rankings and citation indexes.
