FoodManShip Awards

The winners of the FoodmanShip Awards 2024 have been revealed! Six projects by passionate students were awarded for their exceptional contributions to the food systems and food of the future. All within the theme: ‘Taste the Future’.

The FoodManShip awards are given to those students who are outstanding on a combination of 5 aspects:

  • Food know-how – ability to use specific food knowledge and skills,
  • Conceptual or systemic thinking – ability to think in abstract concepts,
  • Creativity - ability to think outside the box,
  • Entrepreneurship - ability to grab an opportunity and go with it, and
  • Presentation - ability to convince with a professional pitch.

We present the FoodManship awards in each category of the HAS Food Experience. An award winner of each category is chosen by an expert jury. The jury will be a combination of HAS professors, HAS alumni, press representative and ambassadors (relations in the food market)

Themes 2024

Sustainable alternative proteins

In this category we find concepts and interventions based on sustainable and alternative proteins such as plant proteins, insect proteins, or proteins from other sources, but also hybrid concepts (meat & plant protein) that take consumers towards a more flexitarian lifestyle, as well as more sustainable meat concepts I.e. dual purpose cows, male meat concepts, etc. 

Healthy body & mind

In this category we find concepts and interventions that are in line with a healthier lifestyle, both in the field of healthy ingredients, lifestyle, target group nutrition and interventions that have an impact on healthy eating behavior and mental aspects of health through food concepts. 

Sustainable Food Systems

In this category we find concepts and interventions that strive towards sustainable food systems, circular concepts and food chains, also energy and water related, and business/services based on sustainable trade not on profit maximization, as well as social enterprises. 

Unwaste Reduce and Prevention

In this category we find concepts and interventions (products/services/ packaging) that create awareness and help preventing and reducing food waste as well as making food packaging more sustainable.

Meaningful Food Innovations/ nonSDG

In this category we find concepts, solutions and interventions that encompass meaningful food innovations that are unrelated to the SDG's, such as marketing ideas, food design, new entrepeneurship, new technologies, ingredients, tastes, processing and quality solutions, convenience etc.
