During the Week for Good Food (13-20 January 2023), food heroes of all generations are collecting funds to support the right to good food across countries and generations.

Why isn’t it the most normal thing in the world for everyone to have access to healthy, sustainable, affordable food? Why do we tolerate empty lunch boxes? Do we find it normal that farmers don’t make a decent income from ensuring that we can eat well each day?

Well, who cares?

Rikolto cares. Our goal is to make good food a basic standard. With your donation, you will be supporting our work alongside farmers, companies, researchers and governments in Europe, Latin America, Africa and South East Asia to guarantee the right to good food.

Rikolto harvests new ideas to feed a growing world population sustainably. From access to healthy food for all school-age pupils in Flanders in Belgium to decent incomes for cocoa farmers in the Ivory Coast. From pesticide-free vegetables in Vietnam to building food networks in the most urbanised regions of Peru.

Last year we handed out 15,000 spoons to people to participate in the Week for Good Food. This year, Rikolto collaborated with Domien Delforge of Studio Stoutpoep in Belgium to design a Bag for Good Food. You can purchase this bag to show that you care about good food.

For the Week of Good Food, volunteers from all over Flanders take action by launching several activities to promote the sale of shopping bags. The actions range from “ breakfast boxes’ filled with sustainable and healthy food, to selling shopping bags outside of supermarkets, to an a capella concert and karaoke night.

Good food is a basic right – it should be the most normal thing in the world that the food we buy in the supermarket is good for people and the planet. All over the world, everyone should have access to sufficient sustainable food. This is what we care about.

For donations of 40 euros and over, you will receive a tax certificate. Thanks to the 45% tax reduction, the cost of your contribution will only cost you around half of the donated amount (under Article 145/33 WIB 92, a maximum of 10% of net income can be deducted).
