Discover Where Your Food Comes From and the Young Future Food Movement were Nominated!
From October 4 to 11, 2025, the Netherlands will focus on food, its origin, and awareness during Week of Our Food. This is the perfect opportunity to learn where your food comes from, how it is produced, and what impact it has on health, the economy, and society.
Across the country, numerous fun, educational, and tasty activities will take place: from farm tours and cooking workshops to markets with local products and inspiring lectures. The week is structured around themed days such as Food Education, Minced Meat Wednesday, National Fruit and Vegetable Day, Fish Friday, Meet the Farmer Day, and Farmers & Markets. It is a week to see, taste, and understand how choices on your plate affect the world around you.
This year is extra special: the Young Future Food Movement, together with Josh Jacobs, the new chair, has been nominated for the Waarde-Ring 2025 in the young food entrepreneur category. This provincial award honors individuals who strengthen the connection between farmers and citizens.
Update: unfortunately, they didn鈥檛 take home the award, but the nomination alone is already a great encouragement for what鈥檚 to come.
Had they won the prize, the funds would have been used to help set up a community kitchen on campus, a space for learning, sharing, and experimenting with food. It would also have supported the organization of events to connect new members and empower them to launch their own initiatives within the movement.
The good news: these initiatives will move forward regardless, so keep an eye on the Young Future Food Movement via Future Food Utrecht to see what鈥檚 next
