At Eosta we believe in enjoying good food and improving the world at the same time. On 16 October, World Food Day, we participated in a panel discussion on Living Wage in Amsterdam. Our Marketing manager Marie-Ange Vaessen stated that Living Wage is a must, if you want to make the food system sustainable. Eosta now supplies mangoes, avocados and passion fruit with a Living Wage promise. Retailers, however, seem reluctant to communicate about it. Marie-Ange: "Supermarkets all over Europe are buying our avocados at a Living Wage price, but they don't inform consumers about it. In this way the system gets stuck. When you educate consumers, they are motivated to pay a decent price and can make an informed choice."
Let’s refresh the food system and grow food in a way that makes the income gaps smaller!
