瓦赫宁根大学植物研究所在各个层面进行植物研究：分子，细胞，生物体，栽培以及植物，病原体和昆虫之间的相互作用。研究所将植物科学方面的知识与其他知识相结合，与来自世界各地的合作伙伴一起研究可持续农业的新视角。

为了向不断增长的世界人口提供健康食品，并保持生活环境健康和可持续，研究所致力于采用抗气候和循环生产系统，尽量减少化石能源、矿物和杀虫剂的使用。这些创新系统有助于生物多样性和土壤质量，对农民和社会在经济上是可行的。

The Institute of Botany at Wageningen University conducts plant research at all levels: molecular, cellular, biological, cultural and the interaction between plants, pathogens and insects. The Institute combines knowledge of plant science with other knowledge, working with partners from around the world to study new perspectives on sustainable agriculture.

In order to provide healthy food to a growing world population and maintain a healthy and sustainable living environment, the Institute is committed to adopting climate resistant and circular production systems that minimize the use of fossil energy, minerals and pesticides. These innovative systems contribute to biodiversity and soil quality and are economically viable for farmers and society.
