Agri & Food sector vital to the Dutch economy
• Agri&Food is the largest economic sector of Netherlands (10%) • Total added value €48 billion: €29 directly by agricultural production,
processing industry and suppliers; €19 in distribution, retail and horeca • World top of food companies: 12 out of 40 largest companies have a
basis (HQ) or R&D activities in the Netherlands

Scarce raw materials Not just land and water, also phosphate and > 17 earth metals become scarce. (e.g. scandium, neodymium, dysprosium, gadolinium, lanthanum)
Expected growth > 1000% for smartphones, electric cars, solar panels, … -> geopolitical tension & volatile prices -> need for alternatives and re-use existing -> commodity productivity becomes major issue

Flying Food project Kenya, Uganda
• Availability of nutritious food for at least 1,000,000 BoP people in Kenya and Uganda • Alleviation of hunger and improvement in health • Acceleration of local entrepreneurship • Employment and income generation for 4,000 farmers and co-workers of minimal 2
processing centres • Less environmental load compared to other protein/meat production, less waste,
energy, greenhouse gas and space

The right to food
Women central in development programmes! And food, water and energy!

For they are the key to food security…. ;) And the ‘North’ can learn a lot from system approaches, integral thinking and broader values of the ‘South’ (21st century skills!!)
![Page 37: Making Sustainable Food Security Happen...• Food Design & Innovation • Landscape Design • Applied Biology • International Food & Agribusiness (English) • Geo media & Design](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050315/5f77a78a22d40731bf5f8677/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Conclusions….
• Value farmers for they provide your food! • Sustainable development is not just about practical problems and technological,
economical or political solutions. It requires a deeper understanding of the interactions between people and with nature.
• Sustainability / CSR is a precursor for a transition of our production systems based on new principles (circular economy; health as a starting point; business based on shared value; ecosystem-based economy;…)
• We have seriously neglected our capability to think in an integral way; Western education does not help
As a (future) leader determine your position in global challenges such as food production and use your circle of influence to create an inspiring vision and collective action.
YOU can make a difference!
