The number of people on this earth is increasing rapidly and by 2050 we will probably have a world population of 10 billion. That is far more than today. How do we prevent people from going hungry, how do we keep everyone healthy and how do we ensure that we produce and transport enough food in a sustainable yet profitable way?
And with many small ideas together, we are one step closer to solving this complex problem.
So, what ideas do students have?
Of course, the best ideas do not have to come from researchers or students alone. Wageningen University & Research thinks that high school students can have very creative and unexpected ideas. With the Wageningen Youth Institute, we are asking these high school students to help us solve the world food problem.
For example, they can participate in the Global Challenge of the World Food Prize Foundation with pupils from all over Europe. Wageningen Youth Institute also offers them (expert) guidance if their profile paper or Meesterproef (for the subject Research & Design) is about a topic that fits the global food problem.
