The New Milkman – Vegan Soya Drink

Tom and Bart Grobben are the owners of The New Milkman (in Dutch: ‘Nieuwe Melkboer’ ). These two young innovative farmers tell how they transformed the milk business of their parents into a new business model. They believe in local, transparent and ustainable products. They created the first Dutch plant based Milkman for production from seed-to-product. A Short Food Chain, in order to deliver delicious local flavoured, Twente Soy Milk to consumers.

In order to develop healthier and personalised food, with a strong focus on protein transition, East Netherlands aims to experiment and scale-up the latest Smart Food Solutions via test gardens: various quadruple helix partnership set-ups like field labs, innovation & demonstration centres and living labs.

In a quadruple helix societal and governmental organisations join forces with knowledge institutions and companies in order to develop and test new smart food business models, giving consumers a more central position in the chain to shift from food chains towards a more holistic, sustainable “food system”, in which the relationship up to the primary producer is strengthened.
