Myrthe Lanting

“My name is Myrthe. My work is driven by a strong desire to enable and create socially just and sustainable societies that add more value than they take. Over the years I have worked with numerous citizen driven initiatives (from neighbourhood gardens to small scale catering companies), startups, educational institutions and municipalities in the Netherlands (mainly as an impact driven designer and facilitator) alongside self initiating projects around food waste, food heritage and the inclusive sharing economy. As a co-founder of Urban Connectors I have narrowed my focus to regenerative (urban) food systems. I’m especially interested in reconfiguring our relationship with food, how we produce it, rethinking how and what we eat and how to make food that is healthy for self and planet accessible to all.”
