10. Growing a BetterWorld together
promote and
stimulate a more
stable and resilient
food and agricultural
sector
Stability
balance the
nutritional value of
our diets, available
for everyone
Nutrition
restoring the soil
quality of the current
arable land around the
world as a prerequisite
to produce more food
with less impact on
the environment
Earth
reduce food waste
throughout the
entire food
production chain
Waste
Four sustainable food challenges
Through Kickstart Food we will put our knowledge, our networks and our financial solutions to
work in these four areas
10

11. Challenge
Population is growing. Arable
land per capita is decreasing.
We need to produce more with
less ecological impact..
Solution
Together with Sicredi we help
farmers in Brazil move from
monoculture to rotation
schemes
Perspective
This helps increase yields,
improve the quality of soils
and prevents deforestation

12. Challenge
Farmers in developing regions
such as Sub
Saharan Africa yield just
20% of their potential
Solution
The Soilcares scanner helps
farmers analyze their soils
and provides advice on what
crops to grow and how
Perspective
Together with Soilcares,
Rabobank Foundation
provided 130 scanners to
smallholder farmers in
Kenya, resulting in a yield
increase of up to 300%

13. Challenge
Small-scale fishers have
traditionally been dependent
on middle-men to get their
product to market.
Solution
A factory to streamline the
supply chain.
Perspective
The factory aims to guarantee
the sustainability of the supply
of fish and boost the income
of the local population.
