In the coming years, tens of millions of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce heads and herbs will be grown for residents of the Chinese metropolis. The story has now been covered by the Dutch daily news media.
Foodventures’ ambition goes further and the Middle East is showing interest. And I understand, because it is a story about innovation, local production, but also about the application of new business models.
