Never too young to learn
Is the key to a healthy generation a carefully prepared lunch at school? Is this a feasible aim, and what should a healthy and affordable school lunch look like? These questions will be addressed in the Eten op School (eating at school) survey, which is being carried out by the VU Amsterdam (university), WUR and other affiliated partners, including Dutch Cuisine.

Vegetables in the starring role

Green Deal – realising an increasedly sustainable food consumption
a partner since 2015

The Green Deal is focused on making healthy and sustainable food easy and appealing for consumers.

The catering sector is one of the many cogs within the food chain with which Dutch Cuisine is cooperating within the Green Deal Verduurzamen Voedselconsumptie effort. A total of 17 parties are currently operational within the Green Deal, in addition to Dutch Cuisine: the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Stichting Natuur & Milieu, Albron, the Municipality of Amsterdam, the Municipality of Rotterdam, the Municipality of Groningen, the Municipality of Ede, Rabobank, Mattmo Creative, Wageningen University, Koppert Cress, GroentenFruit Huis, the Province of Noord-Brabant and Variatie in de Keuken. These parties that are involved, work in alternating partnerships towards an accelerative process for creating more sustainable food consumption. In doing so, they aim to provide an impulse for the innovative force of the catering sector, for new economic activity within the supply chains, and for ‘gastronomic international profiling’. Over the course of three years (the Green Deal was launched in November 2015 and will run until the end of 2018), projects will take be taking place, aimed at sharing expertise, developing tools and programmes, and gaining exposure.
