Would you like to be inspired to think about sustainable food? On Friday 17 October, we are organising a Smart Farming Future workshop in Huis van Actief Burgerschap, Library Neude, Utrecht-centre.

Then talk to a group of Turkish young people who want to learn from Dutch experience with smart sustainable agriculture. For example, play the role of a young farmer or farmer’s wife in the morning from 10-12.30 am, who wants to start a sustainable farm in 2040 and is looking for support from investors, food industry, consumers and environmental movement. And in the afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m., work on a strategy to contribute to the transition to sustainable agriculture in Europe and Turkiye between 2025 and 2040.
