Sustainable food production

NIZO actively participates in activities sustaining the quality of life on this planet. As sustainability is not a discipline as such, most of our activities are interwoven with our expertises discussed elsewhere on this site. We have outlined our focus below, based on the pillars: People, Planet and Profit (Brundtland / WHO 1987).

This is how we aim to make a valuable contribution to your products (click on the text to read about the 3 focuses People, Planet and Profit):
