Division of Bioeconomics KU Leuven
The Division of Bioeconomics has three main research lines:
- poverty reduction and economic growth in poor countries and the sustainable and efficient use of natural resource to realize pro-poor growth;
- the transition towards a sustainable bio-based economy;
- the link between economic and ecological models by refining functions of socio-economic drivers that are used to model resource use change and changes in ...

Flanders Centre of Postharvest Technology Flanders Centre of Postharvest Technology
Food and Microbial Technology (CLMT) KU Leuven
Research topics of this unit are:
• Physical methods for microbial inactivation
• Natural antimicrobial components
• Microbial stress response and stress resistance
• New techniques for food preservation
Growth and Development Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Here we perform fundamental research on plant genomic function and interaction with environmental factors. Which molecular and physiological processes explain growth, development and their interaction with light, humidity or temperature? Using advanced technologies, we study plant physiology, biochemistry, image analysis, genetics and genomics. This knowledge is applied in innovative crop husbandry and breeding techniques.
Kinanthropometry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Kinanthropometry is primarily oriented in human biology, studying human size, shape, proportion, body composition, maturation and gross function, to help understanding human movement in the context of growth, exercise, performance and nutrition. The main emphasis of the research carried out currently is related to the continuation of LEGS, called LEGS II. The purposes of the project are: (a) study of the tracking of health and performance ...
