Strategy
The Netherlands is, just like many other densely populated areas in the world, a delta, a lowland made and maintained by humans. This lowland is multifunctional: production space, housing- and recreational zones and room for nature and water management. There are high demands on the quality of the spatial management of the lowland, in which concepts such as regionalisation, cultural history, safety, sustainability and accessibility play an integral part.
Human and animal health is becoming increasingly important: food safety, clean water and clean air, limited raw materials. There is also more attention for the role that nature and countryside are playing in the health of the inhabitants: room for movement, experiencing nature, recreation.
Van Hall Larenstein has chosen three focus points: integral area development; animal management and agriculture; food and health. In these areas we play an important role through our curriculum portfolio, the activities of the readers, research dedicated to practical applications and contract activities.
