Food Connects is an activating platform that provides an overview of relevant Agri & Food initiatives, developments, projects and parties from the region. There are already many initiatives aimed at a better food system in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region and surrounding agricultural areas. But how to ensure that we make even more and faster progress? We are convinced that we accelerate when more parties get involved, know how to find each other, share knowledge and experience, and collaborate where possible. Voedsel Verbindt is an initiative of the Province of Flevoland, Province of North Holland, Municipality of Amsterdam, Municipality of Zaanstad, Rabobank, Municipality of Almere, Municipality of Hollandse Kroon, Municipality of Purmerend, LTO Noord, Greenport Noord-Holland Noord, Foodcouncil MRA, Inholland, VU Amsterdam, Amsterdam Green Campus, Meerlanden Holding N.V., Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, Aeres Hogeschool, Anmec and the Slow Food Youth Network. Together we form a platform committed to a sustainable, regional and circular food system in our region.
