In the Netherlands, a lot of researchers, universities and farmers are working together to create a more sustainable food system. Since the amount of people are increasing and the climate is changing, it is important to look into a new way of cooking and eating. Therefore I was at the World Food, where I met Christiaan from Microgreens Holland. Microgreens Holland is a company providing microgreens in a wide variety of flavors. These greens grow quick, have a great flavor and have high nutritional values. A real local superfood!
