Human Health

Green is more than just beautiful. Food and a green environment are important to improving health and keeping people healthy. In the world of Human Health, you can work on new biological applications in health care and people’s daily lives.

Food & Health

Forty percent of all diseases are the result of unhealthy behavior, and three of the five most expensive Western diseases are caused by an unhealthy diet. People can improve their health and well-being through healthy eating, which includes less meat and more fruit and vegetables. Will you be educating people about this theme? Do you create the perfect spice mix with less salt that makes chips taste delicious? Do you participate in the production of food with extra fiber, protein, or calcium? Or make hospital food better adapted to patients’ illnesses?

Health Care

Health care can also become greener. Biotechnology can be used to make medicines using 100% natural raw materials. Flowers and plants have a positive effect on the recovery of sick people. For example, cancer patients can receive treatment outdoors in special chemo gardens. This makes them feel less stressed and insecure. Would you like to contribute to the green hospital of the future?

Animals are also playing an increasingly important role in people’s health, well-being, and healing. Think of horses used as coaches, guide dogs for the visually impaired, or a rabbit for an autistic child. Did you know about these therapy animals?

Green environment

A green environment not only attributes to the improvement of people’s health, but also has many advantages for healthy people. Trees and plants are good air purifiers and air conditioners. Trees extract CO₂ from the air and convert it into oxygen. In addition, a green environment provides cooling on hot days, which is especially important in the city. A green environment invites you to go outside, relax, and exercise. Do you want help people stay physically and mentally healthy?
