This folder provides an overview of the main organisations involved in, or contributing to this initiative. Note that the site is just "on air" and the list is by no means complete: over the past year or so we have been in contact with, and received much support from many different organisations and individual persons. We are just now starting to "formalise" this through this website so the below list will grow quickly and we apologise for any omissions. In case you would like to be listed as "Partner" please let us know (by sending an email to dolf.degroot@wur.nl), in case you want to be removed from this list you can also send an email to the same address).

For the time being, there are no obligations involved in being an official "Partner" and in most cases the partnership is based on individual contacts between the Network coordinator and persons working at the below listed organisations who think this is an important initiative. Eventually it will probably be necessary to establish more formal agreements between the Network and Partner organisations.
Most of the below organisations are active themselves in the area of interest of the NV&F-Network and in the folder "Links" there are active links to the relevant sub-divisions of these organisations (soon, active links will also be made to the below organisation to enable you to quiry their websites).
