The agricultural and food industry will undergo significant change in response to the growing world population and changing consumer requirements, coupled with evolving challenges such as animal welfare, climate change, biodiversity and sustainable practices. It is our shared responsibility and interest to help accelerate the shift to a more sustainable agri-food economy through climate-smart ecosystems.
Thanks to a strong knowledge position, continuous innovations and highly efficient food production, Dutch exports of agricultural and food products are the second largest in the world. Shared ideals, shared knowledge and ability to work together is key to creating a strong sustainable agri-food chain. The Netherlands fulfills an important role in sustainable and safe food production, healthy food and food security from a global perspective.
We believe that partnerships are an essential link in the innovation process in solving world’s food challenges. With our network we can link the knowledge and experience of the agricultural sector, food industry and horticulture from the Netherlands to worldwide regional projects that want to change over to a sustainable production system that produces greater yields while respecting animals, people and the environment.
