Hybrid sausages that help reduce meat consumption. Meal packages for families with lower incomes and health issues. A fairtrade system for Dutch farmers. Luxury chocolate with dried coffee grounds. And a special beer as a conversation starter. These are the 5 innovative concepts that won a FoodmanShip Award on 1 February during the HAS Food Experience 2022.
This year's projects were divided into 5 categories with a focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, to which HAS University of Applied Sciences is actively committed. With that focus 'On the road to 2030' was the central theme this year.
Protein category | sustainable alternative proteins
DITTO by Nienke Faas: a concept of three hybrid sausages with a distinctive flavour that helps men to unconsciously reduce their meat consumption without compromising on the eating experience.
Category Healthy body and mind
Chefke by Silke van Boxtel: meal packages in cheerful packaging that help families with lower incomes and health issues to eat more healthily in an easy way.
Category Sustainable Food Systems | the food chains
Our Market by Hester Schilt: a new cooperative brand whose mission is to create a fair food chain and pay farmers a fair price. Extra special: it is already in the supermarket!
Category Unwaste | reduce and prevention
Phoenix coffee Reborn by Steef Kunnen: a luxury chocolate concept with dried coffee grounds as one of the ingredients.
Category Meaningful Food Innovations
Open Up by Duifje van Dugteren: this exciting concept is a drink and game in one that opens the conversation about sexuality, sex and gender. The beer bottles (labels) are all different on the outside, but the same on the inside.
