Truepial Consultancy & Research works on creating a happier planet through consultancy, research, education, and communication on food and sustainability. The troupial is a  colorful songbird endemic to the ABC islands. This bird symbolizes the connection between people and nature. A True and holistic view on food and sustainability is at the core of everything that we do. Truepial Consultants is located in Curacao, an island in the Dutch Caribbean. We frequently visit the Netherlands and Aruba, and are happy to explore new destinations.

My name is Amber van Veghel. I am a PhD Candidate, researcher, public speaker, and consultant in the field of food and sustainability. I have a Bsc and Msc in Food Technology from Wageningen University, with a specialization in sustainable food process engineering. Under the supervision of KU Leuven and the University of Aruba I do my PhD  research on the environmental impact of Aruba's food consumption and food chains, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). I am happiest when further exploring our food system, and when communicating about my research field and my own research.
