The Heath Nexus Wiki

The Heath Nexus Wiki is a structured knowledge base covering the scientific, technical and policy dimensions of food systems, environmental science, and energy transitions. It functions as the reference layer of The Heath Nexus — a broader intelligence platform connecting engineering tools, data, and research.

About the author

The wiki is maintained by Ir. Wouter de Heij, a chemical process engineer based in Wageningen. Trained at TU Delft, De Heij brings over 30 years of applied innovation experience across food technology, environmental policy, and energy systems. He works independently, with an emphasis on quantitative reasoning, model scrutiny, and technical neutrality.

De Heij is the founder of Food4Innovations and the author of several research platforms, including StikstofInfo.net — focused on the nitrogen and ammonia dossier in the Netherlands — and Klimaatfeiten.net — covering climate science and energy systems. Both are documented in this wiki.

The Heath Nexus

The Heath Nexus is the central platform connecting engineering tools, scientific insights, and real-world data across food, energy, and environmental systems. It indexes more than 12,800 articles and integrates analytical tools and domain-specific research. This wiki is its structured knowledge component: concepts, reports, datasets, papers, and projects, organised by topic and cross-linked.

The Future of the World

The Future of the World is an editorial platform examining long-term structural futures across six interconnected domains: food and agriculture, energy and infrastructure, technology and AI, industry and economy, society and knowledge, and systemic trade-offs. It curates essays, longreads, and analyses across time horizons from near-term signals to century-scale civilisational shifts. Many of the topics explored there — energy transitions, nitrogen policy, climate modelling, food systems — are covered in depth in this wiki.
