Sustainable World
I am triggered to get to know the world more profoundly. I think we do not know half of it yet. What offers the world, like organic natural food, medication? How do we create circular systems with no waste? How will all people get access to information instead of only a few? How do we learn from the past and make the world a better place for our next generation?
Together Responsible
There is no game and no match to win. No time to lose. We need to make choices. Waste, polution, climate change are wicked problems, we all are responsible for in a way. I know one thing, we need each other to find creative solutions.
Have the guts
I believe that we have to come out of our shelter. Everyone's story is important. We have to keep believing in getting better everyday. Show that it is possible to make it happen, everything is possible. But we need to have the guts!
Who am I
I am John van Helden and born in 1966 in Melderslo, the Netherlands. The eldest son in a family with five children. Our parents taught us the value and importance of our land, agriculture, society and family. I am married with Marianne and together with her daughthers, family and friends we have a beautiful life. I am entrepreneur for over 25 years now and working on digitalization of the agrifood sector. My business brings me back to my family roots, which I am very grateful for.
