Agro & Food

Trends in Agro & Food

Agro & Food is an important pillar of the Dutch economy. For example, our agricultural sector - one of the most modern in the world - accounted for more than EUR 95 billion in exported goods in 2020. However, the challenges for the future are manifold, including the burden on nature and the environment, waste, food safety, the labour market and animal welfare. On the other hand, there are great opportunities; the global demand for food will increase by about 50 percent in the next three decades as a result of population growth.

Technological innovation is therefore crucial for agriculture, horticulture, livestock farming, food manufacturers and their suppliers. For example, automation, digitization and artificial intelligence can greatly help to increase production while reducing the required resources such as land, energy, labour and pesticides, and saving costs.
