FOOD SUSTAINABILITY AGENDA
The Alliantie Verduurzaming Voedsel and the ministry of Landbouw, Natuur & Voedselkwaliteit are aligned by their feeling of urgency in relation to improving sustainability within the food supply chain. The Alliance and the ministry have therefore outlined an agenda together for the period of 2013 to 2016, which will form the basis for the period to 2020.

The Alliantie Verduurzaming Voedsel prepares itself for the acceleration of sustainability in all large food supply chains. Optimalisation of residual product flows, counteraction of food waste and increasing sustainability in the meat supply chain are projects that they work on. Supply chain partners LTO, FNLI, CBL, KHN and Veneca work within that on the sustainability transition in all large supply chains.
