** Bridging the Investment Gap for Food Innovation Success ** The Netherlands has the ingredients to become a global food and agri-innovation leader. Yet, an investment gap threatens to stall our progress. Our startups and scale-ups need robust support to transition from lab to market. This isn't just a call for more private equity but a concerted effort from the government, corporates, and investors to create a sustainable funding mix. Industry leaders Sue Garfitt (The Protein Brewery), Bram Ledeboer (SHIFT Invest), and Anieke Wierenga, PhD. (Foodvalley NL) share their perspectives on how we can bridge this crucial investment gap.

🌱 We are very proud to share the launch of the first Navarra 360º landscape project in the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, run together with EIT Food and Food Innovation Hub Europe. Jolijn Zwart-van Kessel, Innovation Lead Circular Agrifood: “This first landscape is the beginning of many more landscapes to be developed across Europe. These landscape partners collaborate and demonstrate viable pathways in various European ecological and economical settings, showing how we can scale regenerative practices and support farmers in their transition, with the involvement of all value chain parties and beyond.” 🤝To facilitate the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio and its landscapes, Foodvalley is building a broader Regenerative Agriculture Community in which a wider range of stakeholders, including those outside the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, can join. It’s a vibrant network of support that shares knowledge, builds innovations, creates ideas, and enables viable businesses to engage in a renewed economic, social and ecologically sustainable agriculture system.
