Sofie Bastiaansen

Sofie lives in Woensdrecht, the Netherlands. She is very concerned by the way we deal with our food. How much do you know about what you eat? Where it comes from? What happen-ed to it before it ended up on the shelve? As the daughter of a pig farmer she has a passion for healthy eating and quality food. She is critical about whether we are prepared to pay enough for a sustainably produced meal. What if we all buy more local produce at the farmer and the butcher? Because the supermarket? The supermarket is ridiculous. If you listen to Sofie, you will never feel the same when you walk through the supermarket !
