Wageningen UR Livestock Research works on developing solutions for the future
Numerous developments in the areas of food safety, animal welfare and the environment are leading to changes in the way companies operate. Animal welfare and health are being assigned a high priority by society and are focal points of discussion when it comes to responsible and sustainable business practices. But what economic and financial consequences does this have for entrepreneurs? What opportunities does this create, and what are the risks?
Wageningen UR Livestock Research anticipates these trends by working together with the sector to develop future-oriented and profitable solutions, which also focus on animal welfare.
In the end, the goal of our work as a research division is to ensure that the consumer is satisfied with the products provided by the livestock and dairy sector, regardless of whether it involves a meat product, eggs, or a dairy product. That is our focus. But it's just as important to ensure that the producer is proud of his or her work and retains a good long-term perspective. And of course that the animals involved are well taken care of and can live and grow in a healthy setting and that the environment does not suffer as a result.
Accordingly, our division works to ensure the future health of the sector as a whole and of products and services in particular.
Partner in livestock innovations
Our innovative capacity is based on our ability to integrate new and existing knowledge with professional process design technology. A critical factor in this regard is our extensive network of companies and public organisations. We form partnerships, consortia and other cooperative relationships focusing on our specific areas of expertise and themes to successfully deal with the challenges of the future, as illustrated by our slogan: “partner in livestock innovations”.
