Hadewych de Groot van Embden
"My path led me through the world of architecture, organizational science, and even seaweed cultivation to where I am now: a deep fascination with how we can make our food systems contribute to the self-healing capacity of both humans and nature.
In everything I do, I seek the balance between freedom and connectedness. That space—to experiment, learn, and especially be the owner of my choices—has greatly helped me focus on how I can make an impact. And with exactly that combination of autonomy and connectedness, I also want to inspire my generation. By giving people freedom and ownership and connecting them with themselves and their environment, we can achieve a true transition to a more sustainable future together."
