In 2016 Cooperation VARKENSARTSEN and VKON took initiative for The Best Idea of Piggyland. The organization created an independent and accessible event for pig farmers, focused on innovation and collaboration. A moment in which industry peers had conversations and made new connections.
In the last six years The Best Idea of Piggyland is a continuous process of innovation, peaking at the yearly contest where ideas for the industry be conceived, worked out and implemented.
The annual final features a strong connection, independent, no-nonsense character and the creation of new networks for pig farmers.
After three editions in Overijssel and three nationwide editions in 2019, 2020 and 2021, the 7th edition of The Best Idea of Piggyland was in 2022. During the finale five finalists and the winner of the Students Wildcard will pitch their promising ideas and will compete for the title ‘The Best Idea of Piggyland 2022’. In 2023 the 8th edition will take place. Ideas can be submitted from 1st of June 2023.
