Next Food Collective is a collaborative initiative that unites dozens of leading companies, knowledge institutes, and research organizations within the Dutch food industry to accelerate the transition toward a sustainable and future-proof food system.
Our mission is to build and coordinate purpose-driven collaborations that break down communal barriers. Through our efforts, we aim to maximize the impact of public-private investments, creating both societal benefits and economic value for our communities.
Our Goals
Leading Public Private Partnerships
We strive to be recognized as leaders in public and private partnerships, implementing and scaling research, development, and innovation (RD&I) solutions that promote healthy and sustainable food systems.
Expanding Our Network
Our goal is to expand our network to include over 100 active partners across the entire food system spectrum. We operate efficiently, transparently, and inclusively, fostering effective collaborations within the food ecosystem.
Impact-Oriented Initiatives
The initiatives we undertake represent a significant portion of impact-oriented collaborations within our designated themes. Our programs are designed to make substantial progress towards achieving defined societal impact objectives.
Reducing Fragmentation
Nationally, we aim to be recognized for our efforts in significantly reducing the fragmentation of initiatives and projects within the food sector, creating a more cohesive and effective approach to food system challenges.
Collectively we can lay the foundation for a better future, where sustainable and healthy food is not just a goal but a reality on every plate.
