German fruit & vegetable platform Frische Seminar is organising a “Fresh Expert Talk” seminar about Living Wage on 23 February. Volkert Engelsman, CEO and founder of Eosta, will explain how companies can make Living Wage work and use it to improve their social impact. Eosta is the first fruit & vegetable company with a practical Living Wage approach and three Living Wage products in the store shelves.  Volkert will explain the motivations, the stumbling blocks and report his experiences in practice.

Last Tuesday, an information meeting on developments surrounding the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork policy and the Biodiversity strategy was held by the Dutch fruit and vegetable sector. Increasing the sustainability of the food system will have significant consequences but is still in its infancy. The goal of 25% organic produce has wide support in Europe, despite resistance from conventional parties.

The first concrete legislative proposals are expected in the summer of 2022.

First of all, we wish you a happy 2022!
