The growing global demand for food is putting increased pressure on our already strained natural resources. To address this, we need to shift towards more sustainable food systems, changing how we produce, distribute, and consume food by building bridges between farmers and consumers. As Korys, the investment company of the Colruyt family, we invest strategically from seed to table across the entire food value chain to drive innovation and create a future where food is both plentiful and environmentally friendly.We will give you insights in our food and health ecosystems, where we articulate key strategies that advance nutrition, strengthen the direct ties between food and health, and align food system transformation with global sustainable development imperatives.
