Benjamin van Selm

Benjamin van Selm is a postdoctoral researcher at the Animal Production Systems department of Wageningen University & Research, focusing on optimizing circular food systems to reduce environmental impacts. His work bridges agricultural systems, land use efficiency, and dietary guidelines.

• Research Focus: Circular food systems, land use optimization, GHG emission reduction, and sustainable agriculture.
• Key Contributions: Analyzed interactions between local sourcing and land use in the Netherlands, developed strategies for residual biomass utilization, and explored policy implications of circularity in European food systems.
• Collaborations: Works with interdisciplinary teams on projects like "Towards Circular Foodsystems in the Netherlands" (2019–2024).
• Impact: His research has been cited 86 times in Nature Food, and his work on circular diets has generated significant media and policy attention.
