About us
Project EAT intends to inspire and empower the Wageningen UR community
through a participatory process that provides opportunity to learn. Project EAT
provides learning through hands-on experience, sharing of knowledge, linking
different disciplines, creating partnerships and a sustainable movement.
Participatory process as well as collaborative working and decision making, are
cornerstones for Project EAT.
Green Office Wageningen consists of a group of green-minded students aiming
to enhance sustainability within Wageningen UR. We bring together stakeholders
with interests in sustainability, facilitate the exchange of information, reflect on
the sustainability strategy of Wageningen UR and initiate and coordinate projects
aimed at greening the campus.
Stichting Boerengroep aims to connect farmers and students. We bring students
into the field, to get some practical experience and to get to know some Dutch
farmers. We bring farmers into lecture rooms, to discuss hot agricultural topics.
Our activities are for students and recent graduates of Wageningen UR and Van
Hall Larenstein, and organisations like farmers’ associations and rural
organisations.
Transition Towns is a grassroots network of communities that are working to build
resilience in response to peak oil, climate destruction and economic instability
Mooi Wageningen is a local community that promotes the natural beauty of
Wageningen. Our members and volunteers work ons landscape related projects
such as the management of landscape elements such as hedgerow or by
collecting roaming litter in the Uiterwaarden. Next to these local initiatives we
also engage in discussions on the municipality level. Become a member via
