Our focus
Our aim for teaching in the degree programmes Sustainable Food Management and Food: Product and Process Design is to learn the basics using practical examples and to deepen these in research projects. The Food Processing Lab is therefore regarded as an integral part of student training in order to acquire practical knowledge and skills.
The lab serves as a space for innovation in which different stakeholders work together on solutions to problems along the food chain. The Food Processing Lab has already served as an “open lab” for agricultural processing companies and food start-ups. The Food Processing Lab not only develops innovative products, but also experiments with new technological innovations, such as the maroni sorting plant, as well as social and economic concepts. Research into alternative protein sources using insects is already an established research focus.
