Welcome Sybren Kooistra!

With enthusiasm, we welcome Sybren Kooistra as the new Campaign Director of Foodrise EU. Sybren previously served as Campaign Director of the European Greens and brings campaign experiences from roles at Milieudefensie, Reform Act and GroenLinks.

At Foodrise, he will direct campaigns targeting the outsized negative impact of industrial agriculture – one of the most powerful and least confronted forces driving ecological breakdown in the Netherlands and the EU.

We’re very excited to have him on our team to join our mission of transforming the food system for people and planet.
