Показать описание
Is organic food too expensive or is conventional food to cheap? That’s the question Volkert ask us. Aren’t we paying a price for cheap food produce. For the damage, it does to our planet but also to our own health? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could monetize the impact of producing organic food on people and planet, now and for future generations?

Volkert Engelsmans studied economics and business and worked for Cargill USA, a key player in the industrial global food market, travelled the world extensively and saw the impact of food production on society and the environment. Founded Eosta, providing organic fruit to supermarkets and developing a food transparency scheme called Nature & More - convinced that there can be no sustainability without transparency. Eosta is now Europe’s leading distributor of organic and fair trade food and a trendsetter in sustainability issues.

En waarom mocht hij aan het eind geen logo’s laten zien? Het logo van bijv. TRIODOSBANK zou dan in beeld komen en dat is tegen het zere been van een sponsor van dit evenement, een andere bank wiens naam ik hier niet zal noemen.
Over transparantie gesproken!
