The entire food chain is present in the Netherlands, from new seed and ingredient development to processing and packaging. This large community of industrial and academic players has led to a dynamic, research-intensive sector that has spurred many new innovations focused on sustainable production and foods with additional health benefits.

Additionally, the Dutch food sector works hard to increase animal welfare and food safety, as well as to understand better the interaction between behavior and nutrition. Examples of some of these exciting new developments are featured on HollandFoodPartner.com, which provides U.S. businesses with investment opportunities, trade information and the latest developments in food and nutrition research in the Netherlands.
