While 4.6 billion euros worth of food is thrown away in the Netherlands every year, 1.4 million people in that country live below the poverty line and cannot afford a sufficiently healthy diet.

She argues that we must shorten the distance between producer and consumer in order to give back value to our food and by doing so, to enhance the sustainability of our food chain.
