Banking for Food
Why would an online savings bank care about promoting fresh, local produce? Banking For Food is Rabobank's vision on global food security and the role of the bank. Over the next three years, we will concentrate our efforts on four key areas:
- Earth: restoring the soil quality of the current arable land around the world as a prerequisite to produce more food with less impact on the environment
- Waste: reduce food waste throughout the entire food value chain
- Stability: promote and stimulate a more stable and resilient food and agricultural sector
- Nutrition: balance the nutritional value of our diets
Garden to Table
RaboDirect New Zealand is proud to be a Major Partner of the NZ charity Garden to Table.
Thanks to Garden to Table, children all around the country are getting their hands dirty and learning how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food.
Childhood obesity is an increasing issue in New Zealand. RaboDirect fully supports Garden to Table's belief that if children understand where good food comes from, know how to prepare it and then share it with friends and whanau, they will be more likely to make better food choices.
