On October 2nd, Marjan Minnesma, director of the Stichting Urgenda foundation, will give an inspiring Barn Talk on one of the most pressing issues of our time: the future of our agriculture. With challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and soil depletion, current agriculture is at a turning point. How can we make food production more sustainable, fair, and resilient? Marjan will share her vision and explore how we can transform our agricultural system to be ready for the future.
As the director of Urgenda—an organization that is leading the transition to a sustainable society—Marjan Minnesma has launched numerous initiatives that contribute to a greener and fairer world. Urgenda is best known for the successful climate lawsuit against the Dutch government, but it is also active on themes such as energy, mobility, and agriculture. According to Urgenda, agriculture holds enormous potential to meet climate goals and make our food supply future-proof. During this Barn Talk, Marjan will connect her knowledge and experience to the question: what choices must we make now to truly achieve sustainable agriculture?

Barn talks
Barn Talks are engaging debates on various aspects of the energy transition. On the first Wednesday of every month, we invite an interesting guest speaker to discuss a current topic related to the energy transition.
It is an interactive session, featuring discussions with other panelists and the audience. This way, we share knowledge, build a network in the northern Netherlands, and continue the conversation on what is needed to accelerate the energy transition.
