Value proposition

What will we eat tomorrow? Rikolto (formerly VECO) harvests ideas to change the recipe of our #foodsystem.

Rikolto (formerly Vredeseilanden) is an international NGO with more than 50 years’ experience in partnering with farmer organisations and food chain stakeholders across Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Our work is structured around three global programmes: our international Sustainable Rice for All, Cocoa & Coffee and Good Food 4 Cities programmes.

‍Inclusive business is at their core. We promote long-term business relationships fulfilling farmers' and buyers' needs alike.

We ensure the sustainability of our actions through a holistic, sustainable food systems approach facilitating collective action among all food system actors.
