Our approach
Our approach is in line with the framework provided by the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL). ENoLL defines a Living Lab as an organization that focuses on user driven innovation. This means that we anticipate the practical needs of end users of technology such as farmers, contractors andfood processing companies.

Research projects
The KALFIT project aims to develop a preventive approach to the rearing of young stock, which should lead to less disease and mortality, lower use of veterinary medicine, and better growth. Calves between 2 and 3 months are vulnerable.

Research projects
Research approachThrough a combined sample of fishing at specific sea locations with a research vessel, on the one hand, and detailed observations on commercial vessels on the other, we collect quantitative and qualitative data that map the biological status and evolution. We add economic and technical data for fisheries to that.

This technology will enable the farmer or contractor to use the right products, at the right rate, in the right places, with efficient disease and weed control as a result. How does it work? We install cameras on the sprayer booms of contractors and farmers who are involved in the project to test our technology in practice.
