The Farm Technology Group is part of Wageningen University and embedded in the Plant Sciences Group of Wageningen UR. Our group hosts an ambitious staff from various scientific disciplines, with the goal of hightech and sustainable primary food production. This mission is achieved by combining knowledge, methodologies and tools from technical sciences such as mathematics, physics, informatics, statistics, engineering design, and robotics, with biological, environmental, and social sciences in order to understand, manage and design biosystems. The group covers arable farming, (greenhouse) horticulture and livestock farming, as well as novel application domains as they emerge in response to challenges posed by moving towards a more bio-based economy. Typical research instruments include sensing, modelling, control, machine learning, systems analysis, sensor technology, and engineering.
