WEBINAR

FEBRUARY 10 | 14.00 – 15.15 CET

On February 10, The Nordic Chambers of Commerce and the Nordic Embassies in the Netherlands hosted the online kick-off #NordicTalks – Food for Good. In this webinar, our experts discussed how we can contribute to the sustainable and healthy transformation of our global food systems.

The Nordic Chambers of Commerce and the Nordic Embassies in the Netherlands would like to extend a warm thank you to the Norweigian Ambassador H.E. Bård Ivar Svendsen for his welcoming words, to our speakers Katja Svensson, Nordic Council of Ministers, Jolijn Zwart-van Kessel, Foodvalley NL, Einar Kleppe Holthe, Nordic Circular Hotspot and Natural State, and David Kat, Wasteless, for sharing your expertise and knowledge on this important topic, and to our fantastic moderator Andrea Orsag, MissionC, for her excellent contribution to the discussions, and to everyone that participated in this very interesting and informative session.

Our Speakers’ Golden tips for us consumers: 

  • Be your own gardener – see what you can grow on your own to realise what is the effort behind the whole process and also the value of the food once you put your energy into it
  • Sniff, Look and Taste before you throw away food just because based on the label it is expired
  • Support your local producers
  • Educate yourself of what are you eating, read what are the ingredients and nutritions of your choices. Choose smart! And explore new foods time to time, keeping your mind open
  • ENJOY – on your own, with family and friends – because food is such a big part of a culture and a way to express emotions
