Energy, Water, & Safety 

The world of Energy, Water & Safety is concerned with major issues such as climate change and adequate food and drinking water supplies for everyone. That requires sustainable and Renewable energy. It takes a lot of water and energy to put a dinner on your plate! Climate change also requires us to develop new water retention technologies as droughts become more common. All of this for trees, plants and animals to grow.

Energy

A different way of energy production is important for the future of our earth. More and more energy is being generated by wind and sunlight. Would you like to work in a greenhouse with transparent solar cells in the glass roof? Or on a wind farm that generates energy for households in the city? Perhaps you could develop lamps that burn on plant energy or make green energy from organic waste?

Our soil and trees have an enormous capacity to store CO₂ and convert it into oxygen. Could you get involved with agricultural entrepreneurs who play a role in solving the climate problem? Or figure out how to produce a climate-neutral piece of meat without fertilizer and supplements?

Water

Water will become increasingly scarce and precious in the future. When rainwater becomes scarce, harvests fail more quickly. That’s why we’re looking for ways to retain water longer in the fields. Purifying and reusing water is another way to use water wisely. For instance, plants can help clean the water in dirty ditches by simply allowing microorganisms to continue living there. 

Do you want to contribute to water purification? Will you help us preserve our river landscape and keep the dikes strong? Or would you prefer to focus on underwater life?

You are committed to providing enough water, sustainable energy, and food for everyone, so we can all live safe and healthy lives

Safety

In addition to sufficient food, water, energy, and natural environments, food safety is also vitally important. New technologies can detect viruses better and laboratories monitor food quality. Would you like to work in food safety? Viruses from nature can be spread by humans, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Will you help prevent that? Or will you focus on creating an infrastructure in which water, the environment, and energy generation are in balance?
