From soil to blood sugar: HarvestCare in the spotlight - We are the Regeneration
In January, We Are The Regeneration published an in-depth portrait of HarvestCare's work. Journalist Nadine Maarhuis wrote about what it actually looks like when food is taken seriously as medicine — about participants in Rotterdam-Zuid who discovered for the first time what feeling truly full means, about the connection between soil health and nutritional quality, and about the question that drives us every day: how do you make this system work?
The article goes to the heart of everything HarvestCare is building. Not only the Food on Prescription programme, with its statistically significant results from the randomised controlled trial conducted with Erasmus MC. But also the broader framework behind it: the Agri-Health Outcome Payment Model (AHOPM) — a financial model that connects private investors, health insurers and regenerative farmers through measurable health outcomes. Because good intentions don't scale. Financial structures do.
That We Are The Regeneration gives pioneers a face is exactly what this movement needs. It is also why HarvestCare has joined GroenGezond — a coalition of multiple allies united behind a single message: what is healthy for nature is healthy for you. HarvestCare contributes the evidence. And the blueprint to finance it.
