The current status of the agricultural sector is not so much the result of misguided intentions as it is a system failure. Our supply chains are long and not always transparent. Our global markets are focused on cost price, and not based on a long-term sustainability perspective for the different stakeholders. Not only the market needs to change, also the service sector, governments and financial sectors need to make a sustainability transition. Transformation with simultaneous innovation is necessary and 'as we speak' work in progress.
The New Business Models should respond to 'Doing Better Things' and 'Building Resilience to Uncertainties'. Within this module it is about that search for sustainable renewal, not about 'Doing Things Better'. Starting from your own personal motives and values, we search for more sustainable production systems and more resilience to uncertainty and innovation; we go for 'Value Based Change Implementation'.
