ABOUT EF

Get a taste for water’s influence on daily life with this exciting adventure to Belgium, the Netherlands, and Berlin.
At each stop, you’ll dig into how water affects local food production—and get the chance to try some of the region’s specialties. In Brussels, visit an aquaponic farm to discover the challenges and benefits of urban agriculture. Focus on sustainable farming in The Hague, from food crops to tulips, before continuing on to Amsterdam to sample Dutch cheeses and see the vibrant city from the water on a canal boat cruise. The trip culminates in Berlin where you’ll further understand The Impact of Water on Society at our inspiring leadership conference and explore ways to harness this natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.-
