Every day, komida takes steps towards working more sustainably. One great example is its collaboration with a local quinoa producer: Kontichse Korrel. Their fields are located close to Campus Drie Eiken. We spoke to both Magali Hiel, coordinator at komida, and Diane Van Hul, owner of Kontichse Korrel.
For the TURQUOISE research project, coordinator Jan Staes (Department of Biology), Jan Cools (Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development) and Steven Van Passel (Department of Engineering Management) joined forces. The project wants to find out how we can raise the groundwater levels in Flanders, and how we can implement the solutions sustainably.
