2023 and onwards
The last 3 years have been a wildly fascinating and wild ride. We built our first prototype and partner consortia in Antwerp, with the support of the city's Klimaatfonds. Pilot testing with a few (brave!) schools allowed us to turn leftover veggies and fruits into soups and smoothies. Antwerp liked what we did and will support our work as part of their food strategy. Our beta platform needed an upgrade to allow us to process larger quantities, serve more processors and caterers and increase our impact. Flanders followed Antwerp. We became part of the Circular Food Chain Taskforce and received a 100K grant from Circular Flanders to support our growth. And this is just the start. Let’s end food waste together!
