Vion Food Group
We believe in a world where people enjoy safe and healthy food from sustainable sources. By bringing people together we build future proof protein chains and provide Food that Matters. In our view Food that Matters is tasty and healthy, comes from upgraded demand-driven chains, provides a fair income for farmers and other chain partners, is produced with respect for animals and people and sets standards on reducing environmental impact. We are in the center of the food chain and see it as our role to connect and balance demand and supply. We do so by Building Balanced Chains to give farmers a future and customers a difference. Such as the Good Farming Star chain with one star Beter Leven, De Groene Weg with organic meat, Geprüfte Qualität Bayern with Simmentaler, and ME-AT, our plant-based meat alternatives supply chain.
