Foodvalley Champions 2020 announced

De Nieuwe Melkboer (The New Milkman), In Ovo and Grünten have been named Foodvalley Champions 2020. De Nieuwe Melkboer stood out in the Protein Shift category. In Ovo distinguished themselves within Circular AgriFood. Grünten came out on top in the Food & Health category. The prizes were awarded during the Foodvalley Summits on 13 October.

Protein Shift: De Nieuwe Melkboer (The New Milkman)

With their plant-based dairy variations, from locally-grown proteins such as soy, co-created with local processing partners, they are shaping two transitions at the same time: accelerating the shift to a more plant-based diet and shortening the chain. Early November they will launch their first plant-based dairy product.

Circular AgriFood: In Ovo

In Ovo developed a device with which the sex of chickens in the egg can be determined quickly and reliably. Everything in the company is focused on making production systems animal friendly and sustainable. Wil Stutterheim, Founder and Director of In Ovo: "This year we will take our technology to the market.”

Food & Health: Grünten 

Grünten’s breakfast product 'Veggie OATS', with flavors inspired on pie, provides 25% of the daily-recommended vegetable intake. Berend Eberson, founder of Grünten: "Through Foodvalley we can now work together with the right parties: those who can help us extend the shelf life of our product. Currently it’s ten days, but we plan to have a shelf life of over three weeks - and that place on the shelf where consumers can find us."
