About Us
Nourishing people • Nurturing the planet
Food is a necessity that humans need to survive, and the type of diet they choose has been shown to significantly affect their health, while the form of farming has significant effects on the environment. Agricultural (food) production, human health, and the environment are intrinsically interlinked. We strive to advance the debate by bringing various stakeholders together.
