About one year ago we were half way through the Fresh program. What a joy to have gone through such an experience together with 23 other driving forces in regeneration. Could this be for you too?

Then this is for you! It was truly enjoyable to work with and learn from like-minded individuals and professionals like the cohort and Fresh team who are on a mission to build a regenerative and healthy food system by co-founding new mission-driven ventures. 💚 I was one of the lucky people who joined the program. Besides getting to know an incredible group of people from The Netherlands and abroad, it provided me with extended knowledge and network and it turned out the start of a new path in living my purpose through beNature. At beNature., we restore the symbiotic relationship between people / organisations and nature for planetary, human and economic health through mindset. On a mission to inspire for a regenerative mind, we Spark 🌱 for Regeneration through embodied nature experiences. 📉🌳 Although our logic, analytical and rational brain was put in greatly by diving into systems thinking and the (global) food system, there was also space for experience and intuition through a day in nature and experimenting. It provided ample opportunity to bring my whole self. 🔥 So - just finished your studies or thinking of never retiring or in between, aspiring entrepreneur or professional, fortunate having an entrepreneurial grit and wanting to transform the food system? This is your call!

In 2016, I stumbled upon a start up idea through a Sustainable Strategies course with Jay Friedlander. 🔎 I was inspired to brainstorm business solutions to food system problems, particularly food waste. While my start up didn't work out, I realized the passion and energy I got from the work I did and the immense amount of knowledge I gained along the way, an experience I am incredibly grateful for. 🌻 Last Spring, I got selected to the Fresh Ventures Studio program that gave me the opportunity to revisit my passion for entrepreneurship, connecting it with my love for food and the sustainable food system. 🥘 Fresh dives head first into the problem. 🔧 What is it that you want to solve? How can you pair it with your skills, experience and what you love to do? Who can you do this with? I didn't have a concrete idea of what I wanted to do but I did know I wanted to work on something that would positively contribute to a better food system. Fresh helped me get there. This month marks a year from the journey of starting up Nimble Processing, a start up that I am working on with my awesome cofounder, Melchior Huijts and had the privilege to start with Karol Keane. I have the privilege to work every day to help increase sustainable agriculture, create more transparency in the food system, and create market access to these beautiful vegetables. 🥕 🍆 🥒 Our pre-cut seasonal vegetable mixes are honest, tasty, and good for the planet. There couldn't be a better fit for me in the working world than this. Last week, my family came to visit from Thailand. 👨👩👧👦 I asked my mum and sister to come help me process for our first delivery for Provincie Zuid-Holland. It's a hard feeling to explain what it means to be able to show the people I love what I'm doing every day to work towards a world I want to live in. 🌏 Thank you so much for all your support always. 🤗 Matthe van Dam Today, I have the chance to pay it forward. 💪 If you are looking to find a fit to your passions and skills in your own start up ⛏️, meet like-minded people 🤝, and work towards a better food system you can be proud of 🌱, join the upcoming Fresh Program. For more information, check https://lnkd.in/eTNZzcMJ Thank you Bart van der Zande, Huub Dekkers, Rémi Saint-Jean, and Mitali Poovayya for the spark that lit the flame that keeps us going. 🔥
