Get in touch with Annemieke Busch, Sophie van Geest or Hilco Beeks to discuss opportunities for your company interested in investing in the Dutch agrifood ecosystem.

Innovation and R&D in agrifood

Agrifood companies not only find customers, but also fertile ground for innovation in the Netherlands. Companies at the frontier of agrifood and agtech innovation develop new technologies like milking or harvesting robots. Other new techniques involve vertical farming and diversifying crops. Together with Dutch research institutes and government, companies work to innovate and create. Wageningen University & Research is one of the leading research facilities looking to revolutionize food production. NIZO supports the growth of companies in sub-sectors like dairy & culture, and plant-based proteins. To learn more about Dutch developments in plant-based proteins, see the Future Protein NL magazine.

To stimulate innovation, the Dutch government offers competitive research incentives to fuel future agrifood development.

Sustainable future in the Netherlands

The Netherlands aims to become the global leader in circular agriculture by 2030. This ambition entails a shift from growth in production volumes and cost price reductions towards optimization in resource use and food production, in harmony with nature. The government has published a plan of action to turn this vision into reality.
