Exploratory research on spray drones in precision agriculture
Exploratory research on spray drones in precision agriculture
For the first time in Flanders a test flight has been carried out with a spray drone - a drone that can apply plant protection products to field crops.
CO-cultivation platform technology
Main research questionDespite its economic and environmental benefits, the flow from Ri technology to commercial plant breeding is still limited due to a number of bottlenecks identified in each of the three major steps of the technology: 1) Induction of hairy roots is strongly genotype-dependent and morphological identification is often not possible

Less bitter Belgian endive and chicory by switching off the "bitter genes" using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
Less bitter Belgian endive and chicory by switching off the "bitter genes" using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
They did this by using the famous CRISPR/Cas9 technology to switch off only those genes that control the production of bitter substances in the plants.
Sustainable storage of grains by implementing a novel protectant and and versatile application technology
NovIGRain aims to (1) develop a new type of plant protection product (PPP) and application technology with special attention for possible resistance, (2) develop a decision-supporting tool for grain storage management, and (3) raise awareness about resistance to plant protection products and grain storage techniques.Research approachNovIGRain will develop

Extracurricular STEAM project on sustainable technology and food systems for (young) people: Stem&Vork
STEAM, short for Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics, is an educational approach that uses various access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The STEM & VORK project has the ambition to develop STEM-approaches to work towards a more sustainable local food system.
