''We must produce food differently, better and greener, with a disruptive change in the whole food chain. Therefore, ‘We’ is the Key! We need SFI as a consortium of the 'coalition of the willing' to realize this and to contribute to a better and sustainable world. SFI is the platform to find joint solutions for a "healthy planet diet!”. SFI is the example to collaborate on R&D both applied and fundamental, to innovate in the Field Labs, and to experiment in Living Labs. If we cannot accomplish this in the Netherlands, who else can?'' Read more

The actors keep each other sharp in order to keep thinking from the goal and not from means.'' Read more
