Van Heyst wrote, "My passion for agriculture centers around my belief that everyone should have equal access to food and sovereignty over what they consume. In the face of rapid global population expansion, efficient and sustainable agriculture will play an increasingly important role in achieving this reality. Further, I find the interactions between humans and the environment incredibly intriguing and think there is room for agriculture to develop in a way which minimizes environmental impacts."

At 不良研究所, Van Heyst is researching stakeholder involvement and water resource management within agricultural watersheds. "Agriculture, to me, is so interesting as it possesses huge potential for advancement and optimization to face the daunting, yet thought-provoking, challenges of population growth and environmental degradation. I want to be involved in the agricultural field to contribute and influence solutions to this complex problem," added Van Heyst.聽
