Verslag: Gesprek Minister Klever en opstellers van de oproep “Nederlandse aanpak internationale voedselzekerheid werkt!”

The Netherlands Food Partnership (NFP) recognizes the vital role of biodiversity in building sustainable, resilient, and nutritious food systems. To advance this agenda, NFP partnered with Wageningen University & Research (WUR) to explore opportunities for linking biodiversity and food systems, taking sustainable and healthy diets as a key entry point. The insights from this assignment offer guidance on the support required and highlight concrete opportunities for initiatives and potential partnerships in this critical area. These insights are not only valuable to NFP but are also essential for our broader network, which is why we are committed to sharing them widely.
