Launch of international campaign Farming the Future

What if we could use innovative Dutch technology to turn drought-stricken regions into fertile farmland? Or enable farmers to grow more delicious and nutritious potatoes from disease-free seeds? Or to gain insights into the health and wellbeing of their cattle by employing artificial intelligence?

Beeld: Holland Branding

The international campaign Farming the Future highlights the Netherlands’ contribution to the global efforts in achieving food security and improved nutrition. The international campaign showcases the knowledge and  expertise of the Dutch Agrifood and Horticultural sectors in promoting a sustainable food system and creating social and economic opportunities worldwide. The campaign’s objectives are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Through Farming the Future, the Netherlands calls for greater cooperation between businesses, governments and knowledge institutions to improve processes, accelerate innovation and reduce climate impact across the supply chains – reflecting the country’s ambition to transition to circular agriculture by 2030.
