Belgium

Rikolto’s roots go back to Belgium in the 1950s. We gradually moved from a traditional development NGO to a network organisation. Also in Belgium, we work towards a sustainable food system.

From 2014 onwards, we started building our expertise in making institutional kitchens from companies and schools more sustainable. This laid the foundations for the GoodFood@School approach, that we are currently also adopting in Indonesia, Vietnam etc. As of 2017, Belgium was one of the first countries where we started up our Good Food for Cities programme. Currently, we are running our Good Food for Cities programme in the cities of Antwerp, Ghent and Leuven. We also organise private fundraising campaigns in Belgium.
