🙌We feel so lucky to have Edonia as a Seedbed alumni! We are happy to hear the Seedbed Incubator programme helped with market validation and gathering valuable insights for your innovation. Looking forward to see what you accomplish in the future! #seedbedalumni #eitfoodalumni #eitfoodcommunity #sustainability #foodsystemtransformation #agrifood #agritech #innovation #seedbedincubator #marketvalidation
At Edonia, we've had the opportunity to participate in various acceleration programs, but one stands out as particularly crucial in our launch: the EIT Food Seedbed Incubator (by the European Union). This program enabled us to conduct an in-depth and efficient market exploration over this past summer. We carried out over 100 qualitative interviews with industry professionals, which allowed us to deeply understand our market and accordingly define our positioning. The insights we gained are invaluable and Strengthen our confidence in our product’ market fit. A huge thank you to Juan Ignacio Zaffora and the entire EIT Food team for the quality of this program! And of course, a special shout-out to our amazing coaches, Mariano Oto and Lorraine Allen , for your dedication and support. Isn’t the smile on Hugo and Pierre's faces the best proof of our satisfaction?

💡Great insights from EIT Food CEO Richard Zaltzman and Foodvalley NL CEO Marjolein A.J. Brasz about our food system and the changes that need to be made in order to improve sustainable living for all. #seedbedincubator #eitfoodcommunity #foodsystemtransformation #sustainability #agrifood #agritech
By 2050, we will need to feed 10 billion people worldwide: a challenge that our current #FoodSystem is woefully unprepared for. 🌍 Intensive agricultural practices have led to soil degradation and biodiversity loss. Over half of the world’s agricultural land is now degraded and without radical change, our ability to produce enough food for current and future populations is under threat. 🌱🚫 To meet these challenges, we must establish a future-fit food system for all: a transition that can only be achieved by prioritising systemic, regenerative approaches to agriculture, in a way that keeps farmers front and centre and fosters collaboration between all stakeholders in the food chain. 🌾👩🌾🤝 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dNtdiZhS #RegenerativeFoodSystems #RegenerativeAgriculture #ImprovingFoodTogether #FutureOfFood #RegenerateToAccelerate

💡An insightful look at the impacts of the protein we consume on our planet from EIT Food. 🥩🌿We have been lucky to work with a number of Seedbed alumni that are striving to provide protein alternatives for our food system. Check out our alumni from 2023 and the innovations they have produced: Edonia, Biofynt, BravelyCultured, POSEIDONA, Advection Engineering, FoodSquared, Meat Tomorrow, Prevo #seedbedalumni #eitfoodcommunity #mealternatives #proteinalternatives #agrifoodinnovation #agrifood #agritech #foodinnovation #futureoffood #improvefoodtogether
Which foods have the largest impact on #ClimateChange❓ On average, meat & dairy have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein, while plant-based foods tend to have the smallest impact. 👇🌍🌱 With the need to develop healthier and more #SustainableFood products, the introduction of new foods could be key to the transformation of our #FoodSystem. Although European diets vary from region to region and household to household, innovation is accelerating and new food ingredients are entering the European market. Could novel foods help to create a future-fit food system in Europe? 🍏 Discover more: https://lnkd.in/dekRk_Dw #FutureOfFood #ImprovingFoodTogether
