Health care and nutrition


Health effects of natural products

The Louis Bolk Institute not only does research on agriculture, but also on health care and nutrition. Our central research question concerns the health effects of organic products and complementary medicines.

A broader view on nutrition

Research into the health effects of diet and lifestyle helps to define better health promotion and disease prevention strategies. That is why the Louis Bolk Institute does research on the effects of diet on allergies, diabetes, asthma and obesity. Our systems approach and agricultural research expertise enable us to take a broader view on nutrition. Health related charities, pharmaceutical companies as well as governments turn to us for advice and research. We work in close collaboration with Wageningen University and Research Centre WUR, and other Dutch research institutions such as TNO.
