Innovation Fields

Navarra 360º is a pioneering project that seeks to promote Regenerative Agriculture in Navarra (Spain), validating agricultural practices, at a territorial level, as a European benchmark in the transition towards a new agriculture.

Lower Silesia 360° is the third landscape  project to be launched under the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio. It is one of the largest regenerative agriculture project in Poland and will run from 2025 to 2028.

ReGeNL is working alongside Dutch farmers to develop a future-proof agricultural sector, where farming goes hand in hand with soil improvement and nature restoration, while ensuring a profitable business model for farmers.

Foodvalley NL, together with Rabobank and Interprovinciaal Eiwitoverleg, are supporting crop-oriented value chain initiatives that contribute to a higher consumption of Dutch-grown plant-based proteins. Increasing the local availability, processing and consumption of plant-based proteins not only contributes to our protein self-sufficiency, but it also has the added benefits of greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen runoff reduction and increased biodiversity.  

Since 2020, the Netherlands has had a National Protein Strategy (NES), developed in line with European ambitions to increase protein self-sufficiency. Over the past few years, it has become clear that the Netherlands, with its wealth of knowledge and innovation, can contribute far beyond its own borders. While other countries and regions are actively scaling up their sustainable protein solutions and connecting supply and demand on a global level, the Netherlands has yet to fully engage internationally. That’s why exploring an international component of the NES is both timely and necessary to ensure Dutch expertise and innovation in sustainable proteins can make a global impact.

From 2020 to 2025, the Personalised Nutrition Community served as a dynamic hub for collaboration and innovation at the intersection of food, health and technology.

The short chain project Gelderland 'Local food in the Gelderland supermarket' aims to get more local products sold locally through the supermarket channel. The project will run from April 2024 to April 2026.

Upcycled products and ingredients should be widely adopted by food manufacturers, on supermarket shelves and food service offerings. That’s the ambition of the new Upcycled4Food Initiative, launched by Foodvalley’s Upcycling Community.

The Protein Transition Map NL offers an interactive platform showcasing the economic value of the Dutch alternative protein ecosystem.
