OUR WORK

Food Pharmacy is the first program of its kind in the Netherlands, providing free organic, local food to people with type 2 diabetes as part of their care. In collaboration with Erasmus MC, we are implementing the program as a randomised controlled trial to measure its health impact, while supporting local farmers and the transition to regenerative food systems.

The Agri Healthcare Bond connects agriculture, healthcare and innovative finance to support prevention and improve patient outcomes. We are developing the model together with municipalities, investors and health insurers, with the shared goal of making prevention investable and creating long-term value for health and society.
