General

Food Hub creates innovative forms of food education and guides innovation and change processes. We help companies, governments, students and professionals better understand the changing world of food and agriculture. Our mission is to drive the transition to a fair, healthy, delicious and sustainable food system. Our clients include Rabobank, Unilever, Bidfood and the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality. View here a selection of our projects.

 

In everything we do, we try to be mindful of diversity and inclusiveness. This means that we are constantly asking ourselves how we can make our own organization, as well as our products and programs, accessible to everyone and how we can ensure that everyone is represented in our organization and communications. We believe that the food transition can only be fair if everyone is allowed to participate.

The Food Hub office is located at Linnaeusstraat 2c, 1092 CK in Amsterdam (in the Royal Tropical Institute). Upon arrival, follow the signs to 'Impact Hub'. Check out our location on Google Maps.

Business

Absolutely! Do you want to put education about food and agriculture on the agenda within your company, organization, (educational) institution or just for yourself? Do you want to get to know the food system up close, with all your senses and from different angles? Then contact lieke@foodhub.nl. Together you can explore the possibilities.

Online

When you purchase an online course, you will receive your login information from us in the mail.

 

With these details you can log into the online learning environment and follow the training in your own time, at your own pace. You retain access to the course material so that even after completing the course, you can always go back to repeat parts.

 

Have you not received your login information half an hour after purchasing a course? Then check your spam box. Didn't receive anything there either? Mail to support@foodhub.nl.

Check your spam box for emails from Teachable (our online learning environment). Didn't receive anything there? Send us a mail via support@foodhub.nl. Do you have login details but are unable to log in/participate? Then please contact us as well.

After registration, you will receive the login information for the online learning environment. Through this email you can go directly to the login portal.

 

Did you lose this email? No worries! You can also access the online learning environment at www.foodhub.teachable.com. You may still need to log in. You will see 'login' in the upper right corner of the page. After logging in, you will be directed to your course(s).

We are confident in the quality of our teaching. However, should you feel after completing the course that you did not learn anything or did not find it useful, you will receive a full refund within 14 days. Please send an email to support@foodhub.nl.

Online courses

 

You can cancel your registration up to two weeks after purchasing a course. To do so, send an email to support@foodhub.nl. We will issue a refund, which will appear in your account within 5 business days.

What fun! There are several ways to do that. You can buy a course and give it as a gift. If you send us an email (to support@foodhub.nl), we can change the login name and email address.

 

We can also create a special personalized gift code redeemable on the website (see 'how to use a gift/discount code'). To do so, send us an email with the desired amount you want to give as a gift. We will then create the code and send you an invoice for payment. You can then give this code as a gift.

  1. Choose the course you want to book on the website
  2. Order the training by clicking the "buy now" button. You will now enter the check-out window
  3. You will see the text: 'discount code' at the top right of this window. Enter your discount code here and click on 'Apply'. The code is successfully applied as soon as the amount changes.
  4. Fill in the rest of your information.
  5. Now you can place and complete your order.

 

Good to know:

  • Codes are transferable - you can give them away as gifts to someone else.
  • You can use one code per order.
