dr. R (Renske) Hijbeek

Renske Hijbeek is associate professor at the Plant Production Systems group of Wageningen University. She conducts research on nutrient management in arable farming systems, both in temperate regions and the tropics.

Her current research explores how soil fertility can be improved (for example by recycling organic waste streams or cultivation of legumes) with the largest environmental benefits (e.g. lowest greenhouse gas emissions or agricultural land use).

Renske teaches in three MSc courses, namely 'Analysing Sustainability of Farming Systems', 'Advanced Agronomy' and 'The Carbon dilemma - a soil perspective'.
