Volt Foodvalley

Welcome! We are Volt Foodvalley. Together we represent the progressive voice of Volt in the municipalities of Wageningen, Ede, Renkum, Nijkerk and Barneveld.

As Volt we are convinced that we can overcome the challenges of our time if we work together on all levels. Local, national and European. That is why we, as a European party, are also active in the Foodvalley region. In our region innovations are made that shape the food system of the future. But we are also a healthy and sustainable region, where people live and work. The ideas of Volt fit well here. Therefore, we love to represent the progressive voice of Volt in our region. 

Currently, we have more than 250 members in the Foodvalley region. An enthusiastic team runs the community. As a local community we are the first point of contact for members and we organize activities. In this way members can get to know each other. Volt is not yet represented in the local municipalities, but we are eagerly working to change this in the near future. 

How to participate 

Our core team organizes events for Volt-members. At these events you can meet other Volt members and join the conservation on (local) politics. Knowledge on politics is absolutely not needed. Everybody is welcome! We hope to see you at one of our next meetings. 

Volt is a progressive grassroots organization that wants to have a positive impact on society. We love to talk to people and organizations that have knowledge on important issues in our region. Volt comes up with all kinds of initiatives, but we also support initiatives from outside our organization. Do you have a good idea or initiative that fits with the values of Volt? Let us know via this email address.

At Volt we understand that living in The Netherlands as an international comes with challenges. For example, the communication from municipalities is always in Dutch... We would like to make our region more inclusive. Would you like to help us to do so? Please share the challenges you face with us and/or help us find solutions. You can send a message to this email address.
