Wanted: the 100 most impactful food change makers
Which 100 food changemakers will create better and more sustainable food and drink for all? Food100 seeks innovators who will roll up their sleeves and solve the problems within our food system with fresh ideas. Those tacklers and thinkers are desperately needed now that the future of our food is daily news.
From 14 to 14,000 farmers
With the election results, BBB's win, the political landscape has officially changed. However, the forces of change have been in play for much longer, and the climate and environmental task remains.

Meet three women who - despite male dominance - managed to leave a valuable mark on food and agriculture. And what about the future, are we going back to agrarian androgyny?
In the Resistance
The food system has crashed. Back in the 1980s. When towering butter mountains asked us: what the f*** are we doing? The first signs of the nitrogen crisis were also visible then, prompting the first European nitrates directive in the early 1990s. We need a better system, but the old one hasn't broken down yet. Read your way through the big rebuild and realize that flip was the most versatile piece of kees for twenty years....

The foggy unexplored polders of the education and food system limit visibility ahead and make it difficult to pioneer and effect change. Joszi Smeets cycles through a foggy polder and reflects on the food changers who do step through the fog.
