Sustainable Urban Delta - Meiny Prins, CEO Prins
Worldwide, every day 180,000 people are moving from rural environments to cities. Within 15 years an estimated 6 percent of the world's population will be living in metropolitan areas. Where so many people live and work so closely together, more food is needed to be produced. This requires new business models for the food industry and gives us a social responsibility.
