The Arista Bee Research Foundation has established itself at Eiwitcampus. With this, the campus houses a first organisation with a direct link to the agro and food sector. The next step is a pilot for an agro-solar park (Agro-PV).
Eiwitcampus is a private initiative and works closely together with AgroProeftuin de Peel. In addition to office spaces, it offers laboratory and production facilities and agricultural land is available for practical research.
Given the important function of honey bees as pollinators of many food crops, Arista Bee Research is an excellent fit within the concept Eiwitcampus, states Eiwitcampus founder Marco Smits. There are already plans in place for building upon this collaboration. Smits: "We are going to build a trial field on which we combine solar panels with the cultivation of agricultural and horticultural crops, and we are discussing building a test barn for poultry. This will become reality when the expected zoning plan change will be completed."
