Arista Bee Research

October 2, 2024October 2, 2024Marieke Groenhart

Honeybees play an essential role in pollinating our food crops. The Varroa mite is the leading cause of high bee mortality and reduces the availability of bee colonies for pollination. The Arista Bee Research Foundation has shown that it is possible to breed resistant honeybees by selecting colonies that can remove Varroa themselves. In this project, a rapid test is being developed to enable the selection of resistant behavior through a simulation of Varroa infestation—without the use of the actual Varroa mite.

Greendish

March 17, 2022March 17, 2022Marieke Groenhart

The Gelderland van Morgen project supports entrepreneurs in the hospitality, healthcare and catering sectors in making the food supply more sustainable. The focus is on eating more plant-based food and wasting less food. Within a consortium of more than 36 partners, Greendish is taking up the challenge: in the hospitality, catering and healthcare sector, ‘greening’ more than 10 million plates and wasting 15 to 25% less food. This should result in a CO2 reduction of 30-40%.

Louis Bolk Institute

March 17, 2022March 17, 2022Marieke Groenhart

The project “Children, climate and healthy eating behaviour” investigates whether primary schools can combine the greening of their schoolyard with the provision of food education. In addition, it will be investigated whether the combination of these activities leads to both positive effects on the climate and biodiversity in the schoolyard and the eating behaviour of children.
