The Changemaker Challenge is back! The challenge strives to cultivate youth engagement and entrepreneurship by actively involving young individuals in these pathways and other national efforts concerning socially and environmentally sustainable food systems. The students in the challenge are provided with connections to influential stakeholders, mentorship from NL alumni, access to high-level events, and (knowledge) support from universities to work on real-life business cases from agri-food companies. Through the Changemaker Challenge for Nature Based Solutions in Food Systems students will not only gain knowledge but also valuable hands-on experiences. The challenge facilitates meaningful connections between students, alumni, and industry partners working across interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary fields. After the challenge two winning teams can be selected for the 2025 Food Systems Innovation Challenge – Nature-based Solutions edition jointly organised by Wageningen University and Netherlands Food Partnership.

Currently, we are looking for Impact Partners in the area of horticulture and aquaculture to support the challenge.
