Van Nguyen

Van Nguyen is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, affiliated with Wageningen Plant Research's Department of Greenhouse Horticulture. Their work focuses on sustainable agricultural practices, particularly in circular systems, renewable growing media, and resource optimization. Nguyen leads projects addressing growing media demand projections and biodegradable substrate development. Key areas include peat-free substrates, vertical farming guidelines, and circular plastic use in agriculture.

Research emphasizes interdisciplinary topics such as irrigation systems, nutrient uptake, and wind speed impacts on horticultural crops. Projects like LWV24048 and LWV20034 explore stabilized fibers and organic waste utilization for sustainable horticulture. Nguyen has collaborated on studies published as reports and articles, including work on stratified growing media trials and vertical farm cultivation standards.

Nguyen actively engages in academic discourse through lectures and presentations on topics like renewable raw materials and circular horticulture. Their media contributions highlight innovations in substrate systems and sustainable practices for growers. Current roles include project leadership in initiatives advancing agricultural sustainability and resource efficiency.
