About the research
Making fries is something we Belgians are already very good at that. Yet it can be even better thanks to technology, says Wout Vierbergen (ILVO - KU Leuven). He uses hyperspectral cameras and artificial intelligence to detect black spots under the peel of a potato. In this way, he wants to help fry producers detect blistered potatoes so that they are left with only the finest specimens to make our fries.

How do we reduce our dairy cows' nitrogen emissions?
How do you make a dairy cow emit less nitrogen without her producing less milk? To this end, Tine Van Den Bossche (ILVO - UGent) is doing tests with different feed additives that help the cow make milk proteins, among other things. Her goal: to provide milk that is not only good for all of us, but also better for the environment!
