Food
Feeding 10 billion people by 2050 requires a fundamental shift in our current food system. A sustainable food system ensures a reliable supply of high-quality food for everyone, now and in the future.

With a growing global population, the demand for food continues to rise. The challenge is to make food production and consumption more sustainable, reducing environmental impact while ensuring food security.
Oost NL supports entrepreneurs who are working on high-quality, healthy, and sustainable food solutions, using the latest technologies and innovative business models.
Sustainable food chains
The challenges in our food chain are significant: waste, a growing demand for sustainable alternatives, and the need to use agricultural land more efficiently. By focusing on protein transition and alternative green raw materials, we create solutions that reduce waste and make the food chain more sustainable. Additionally, through precision agriculture – including robotics, data analysis, and AI – we increase yields per hectare, enabling farmers to produce more intelligently and effectively.
