Dagmar Braamhaar

Dagmar Braamhaar is a PhD candidate at Wageningen University's Animal Production Systems department, specializing in sustainable livestock farming. Her research bridges agricultural innovation, circular economy principles, and livestock nutrition.

• PhD candidate, Wageningen Institute for Animal Sciences (WIAS)
• Active in international collaborations with Kenya

Research interests focus on feed substitution (e.g., black soldier fly larvae meal replacing soybean meal), environmental impacts of livestock systems, and rural-urban transitions in farming practices. Her work addresses circularity in agriculture and optimizing dairy cattle diets.

Dagmar's publications (2023-2025) analyze alternative feed sources, urbanizing livestock systems, and circularity metrics. Key themes include sustainable animal nutrition, agroecology, and resource-efficient farming.

She is currently engaged in the Connected Circularity project (2020-present), examining livestock's role in circular food systems under supervisors Prof. S.J. Oosting and Dr. J. van der Lee.
