The 2023 Food100: These 100 frontrunners are making the Dutch food system sustainable

Food100 will announce for the seventh time on September 1 who are the most impactful food changers in the Netherlands. The list consists of 100 sustainers, innovators and boosters who are improving our food system and contributing to solving our climate and food challenges. They are committed to better and fairer food and drink for all.
The event is on Sep 01, 2023 at 0:00 a.m.

Against the current

With the Food100, initiators AgriFood Capital, Food Hub, Food Inspiration and Slow Food Youth Network and the judges want to give food changers a leg up, so that they persevere and keep going. "These tacklers deserve recognition and encouragement," says Struyck. "After all, it takes more effort to undertake against the grain or to convince your boss of your innovative plans than to simply do what everyone else is doing."

The Food100 Jury

The Food100 is compiled by an independent expert jury. More than 300 entries were judged on four criteria to arrive at the final list: decisiveness, innovation, sustainability and the extent to which the candidate shares knowledge and insights.

  • Jury president Sheila Struyck, venture partner and co-founder at NBI Impact Investors and chef of sustainable gastronomy
