What We Do

Foodvalley guides your thoughts and ambitions into practice.

Our Systems Approach

Redefine

Our approach takes you on a journey from thoughts and ambitions to practice. We investigate what is happening and what is missing on the top 3 innovation topics: protein transition, food & health and circular agrifood. We redefine into new narratives engaging our partners in initiatives and communities into collaborative action. All supported by services that bolster a flourishing food ecosystem.

Connect

Within each innovation field, our people are constantly searching for the cream of the crop and offering help to take frontrunners further. Together we work on what is holding people back and why. As an independent organisation, we have access to the right people, financial resources, shared facilities and best practices. Based on our experience and network, we know who to connect to whom and when.

Grow

The food transition is not a straight journey towards 2050. Sometimes we need to slightly adjust our course to avoid roadblocks, other times we find shortcuts to unexpected opportunities. We act based on potential impact and energy, ensuring we best utilise our extensive international partners network and expertise. The result: viable businesses and new healthy sustainable sectors.
